Buy Now	Maiden Voyage (more) »rank: 4140 by: Herbie Hancock : essential recording:In the mid-'60s, a distinctive postbop style evolved among the younger musicians associated with Blue Note, a new synthesis that managed to blend the cool spaciousness of Miles Davis's modal period, some of the fire of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and touches of the avant-garde's group interaction.

Several tackle such classical pieces as Bach's 'Sheep May Safely Graze' (the Modern Mandolin Quartet), Purcell's 'Trumpet Tune' (solo guitarist Alex de Grassi) and Vivaldi's 'Four ...
