History
The Jazztet was an American jazz group.
During its three years of existence (1959 - 1962), The Jazztet--along with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Horace Silver's quintet--was the definitive hard bop combo. Benny Golson's compositions and arrangements gave the sextet a personal sound and a consistenly fresh repertoire, the rhythm section (despite many changes in personnel) always swung steadily and the soloists were distinctive and inventive. Why then did commercial success completely elude this band?
