Gheorghe Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Great, I was born in 1959 and I´m pleased that so much happened in jazz in the year when I was born. Not to forget Ornette Coleman, who was the rising star and played at Five Spot if I´m right. I think 1959 was a year of transition in jazz. Hard Bop still was very much in demand, but along came those who created other forms to get beyond the boundaries of hard bop. Charles Mingus´ Workshops, Ornette with Don Cherry, a lot of things was happening. Two major figures of jazz died in that year: Prez and Lady Day, others who would have the same fate, found more comfortable settings in Paris like Bud. It took me some years from my birth and thru my childhood to get acquainted to that music called jazz, but as a teenie in the 70´s I still could hear and see live a lot of the artists who were active in 1959.
