  2. ↑ Wikipedia: Buddy Bolden confirms his greatest achievements under the sub-heading "Musical career and early decline":
    “ . . . known as King Bolden (see Jazz royalty), and his band was popular in New Orleans (the city of his birth) from about 1900 until 1907, when he was incapacitated by schizophrenia (then called dementia praecox). Bolden was known for his loud sound and improvisation. He made a big impression on younger musicians.”

  5. ↑ According to Jazz by Gary Giddins and Scott Deveaux, New York: W.W. Norton, 2009. (ISBN 978-0-393-06861-0), Ellington compositions are the most recorded in jazz history.
  6. ↑ Scott Yanow's Coleman Hawkins biography.
  7. ↑ As said at Mark Warner's FERMENTATION: The Daily Wine Blog: “(Parker) gave to the emerging Be-Bop artists a new harmonic paradigm that filled in the sound that progressive jazz artists were exploring as they moved away from the swing genre. Parker's great innovation was his discovery, out of his own imagination, of how to play any note and resolve it in the chord so that it would sound harmonically right.”
  8. ↑ Wikipedia: Dizzy Gillespie reports that Gillespie taught and influenced trumpeters Miles Davis, Jon Faddis, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Arturo Sandoval, Lee Morgan, Chuck Mangione, and balladeer Johnny Hartman.
  9. ↑ Wikipedia: Thelonious Monk describes Monk's early playing career, “as "hard-swinging," with the addition of runs in the style of Art Tatum. Monk's stated influences included Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson, and other early stride pianists.”
  10. ↑ Wikipedia: Thelonious Monk describes Monk's singular style: “Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations.” (bold not in original)
  11. ↑ "Jazz: The Loneliest Monk," Time magazine, Friday, Feb. 28, 1964.
  12. ↑ The Guardian newspaper reports that “Davis was the best-dressed man of the 20th century. Starting out, he'd customise his pawnshop Brooks Brothers suits, cutting notches in the lapels in imitation of the Duke of Windsor. After 1949's Birth of the Cool, he favoured the Ivy League look of European tailoring. In the 60s he went for slim-cut Italian suits and handmade doeskin loafers. He was always the coolest-looking man in the room.
