About This Document: From Sonny Rollins I took rhythm and motivic development, and from John Coltrane I took tone, dedication of practice, spirituality, and his volcano of erupting ideas; Charlie Parker's sound, the sheer inventiveness, endless melody and rhythm; Wayne Snorter's composition, melody, zen; Stan Getz's finesse, sound, romance; Dexter Gordon's tone, melody, laid-back feel; Joe Lovano's warmth of tone, incredible rhythm and pure improvising; Michael Brecker's technical genius, pushing the limits of the saxophone and ewi playing; and Kenny Garrett's beautiful tone and "outside" playing. Jazz musicians are playing music with backbeats, doing covers of contemporary pop, such as Radiohead, and writing with forms closer to rock and pop as opposed to the AABA standard jazz song form. Miles Davis's Jazz at the Plaza, John Scofield's Meant to Be, Michael Brecker's first solo album, Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio, Joe Henderson's Live at the Village Vanguard, Thelonius Monk's Solo Monk, Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw's Double Take, Mulgrew Miller Wingspan, and Weather Report's 8:30.
