At the time, the response among audiences and critics alike was somewhat bemused and tepid — after all, they hadn't been exposed to anything quite like it: the unusual instrumentation, the challenging arrangements, the truly modern Impressionistic sound. But luckily for us, some of the live performances were captured for posterity and feature cool jazz masterpieces like \"Godchild\", \"Boplicity,\" \"Move,\" \"Jeru,\" \"Darn That Dream,\" \"Moondreams,\" \"Deception,\" \"Budo,\" and more. The new band's concept — nimble and swinging like a small group, but with \"thick\" orchestrations like the Claude Thornhill big band — was truly revolutionary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd in hindsight, it's no exaggeration to say that the so-called \"tuba band\" proved to be one of the most influential ensembles in all of 20th Century music. The 12 performances later preserved on \"Birth of the Cool\" — their single studio album, recorded in 1949–50 but not released until 1957(!) — have cast a staggering shadow on all modern jazz that followed, blazing a trail that musicians and arrangers continue to follow and study with reverence and awe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bestselling poster – a SecondTakeJazzArt exclusive – features classic mid-century modern typography on a coppery tan background, and was meticulously derived from contemporaneous ads, handbills, and other ephemera for the nonet's appearances at the Roost.

It was a fresh approach somewhat born out of necessity: the Haig's bandstand was small, and the piano had been removed after Erroll Garner's recent gig there! So with no piano, guitar, etc. outlining each song's chords, Mulligan and Baker were free to \"play around\" a bit more: they could push conventional boundaries by making unexpected note choices and chord substitutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd play around they did. Their synergy was immediate: Gerry's puckish ingenuity and Chet's melodic intuition paired perfectly, and their recordings quickly became hits among jazz fans and musicians alike. At turns hot and cool, lyrical and fiery, wistful and exuberant, the Mulligan-Baker quartet's playing was a masterclass in not sacrificing the musical for the modern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd especially notable was always the unique way Chet and Gerry played \u003cem\u003etogether\u003c\/em\u003e. Their musical signature was truly their inventive use of counterpoint: sometimes arranged, sometimes improvised, they effortlessly wove together overlapping melodies and countermelodies into a compelling whole, always greater than the sum of its parts. In fact, for some listeners and critics, it hearkened back to the early days of jazz, when a trumpet, clarinet, and trombone all \"did their thing\" at once in a Dixieland combo.

During this period, they released album after album of standards from the Great American Songbook, featuring snappy arrangements with bright danceable tempos, tight ensemble passages, tasty solos, and inventive harmonies.

It was an original musical show — in 1941! — that had an all-Black cast and orchestra, daring to bare its social conscience by lampooning the rampant racism of the era. Financed in part by the Hollywood actor John Garfield, the show earned rave reviews and ran for 122 performances over 9 weeks. It was truly a star-studded revue that overflowed with talent and promise — it featured a cast of 60(!) actors, singers, dancers, comedians, and musicians; it included contributions from Langston Hughes, Billy Strayhorn, Mercer Ellington, Hal Borne, Paul Webster, Sid Kuller, Mickey Rooney(!), and many others; it developed interest from show business luminaries such as Orson Welles and Charlie Chaplin; and it even had (somewhat grandiose) ambitions of a big move to Broadway!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd as if all the scathing satire about Jim Crow and its challenges weren't enough, the revue also featured some truly outstanding Ellington-Strayhorn writing, like the title number \"Jump for Joy\"; the ballad \"The Brown-Skinned Gal in the Calico Gown\"; the moody Strayhorn serenade \"Flame Indigo\"; the catchy jive tune \"Bli-Blip\"; the dance number \"The Chocolate Shake\"; the blues swinger \"Rocks in My Bed\"; and most enduringly, \"I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a man somewhat prone to exaggeration and self-aggrandizement, Ellington once called \"Jump for Joy\" \"the hippest thing we ever did\" — for once, he might have not been gilding the lily. :-)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: This poster is directly derived from vintage program and poster source materials from the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jump_for_Joy_(1941_revue)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jump_for_Joy_(1941_revue)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jump_for_Joy_(1941_revue)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SecondTakeJazzArt","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 17\"","offer_id":46723538911398,"sku":"051212044101_11x17","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 16\"","offer_id":46723538944166,"sku":"051212044101_12x16","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 18\"","offer_id":46723538976934,"sku":"051212044101_12x18","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16\" x 24\"","offer_id":46723539009702,"sku":"051212044101_16x24","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\"","offer_id":46723539042470,"sku":"051212044101_18x24","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 27\"","offer_id":46723539075238,"sku":"051212044101_18x27","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 30\"","offer_id":46723539108006,"sku":"051212044101_20x30","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 36\"","offer_id":46723539140774,"sku":"051212044101_24x36","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/4410\/6918\/files\/Ellington_Duke-JumpforJoy-LosAngeles-1941-07-10_18x24_v01-mockupB-1x1_dd73889d-8fe0-443f-ad9b-0097cdedd82d.jpg?v=1760562801"},{"product_id":"sun-ra-and-his-arkestra-jazz-poster-wonder-inn-chicago-1960","title":"Sun Ra \u0026 His Arkestra jazz poster - Wonder Inn - Chicago - 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecondTakeJazzArt presents...\u003cbr\u003ea high-quality \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eunframed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e poster featuring original artwork commemorating one of the most celebrated live performing groups in jazz history:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun Ra \u0026amp; His Arkestra\u003cbr\u003e\"Super-Sonic Space-Age Jazz\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe February 1960 gig at The Wonder Inn in Chicago, Illinois\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Recording Artists and Ambassadors of\u003cbr\u003eTrue Sounds from the Worlds of Tomorrow\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun Ra (piano, electric piano, celeste, gong, etc.) with other personnel likely including some\/all of the following:\u003cbr\u003eJohn Gilmore (tenor sax), Marshall Allen (alto sax, flute), George Hudson (trumpet), Phil Cohran (cornet), Ronnie Boykins (bass), Jon L.
