Listen to Cannonball Adderley’s “Mercy Mercy Mercy” (Capitol Records, T 2663). Who is the composer? What instrument is he playing? How does it relate to a church service?
Listen to Charlie Parker’s and Dizzy Gillespie’s “Show Nuff” (CD 3, Track 2) and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messenger’s “Moanin’” (Time/Life R612-12). Compare and contrast the original bop with the funky hard bop.
Listen to Mahalia Jackson sing “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve See” (Sony, 16 Most Requested Songs, or Jazz Box Vol. 1, GEMA 33-102). How does it relate to funky/gospel jazz?
