"杰斐逊飞机"乐队是由男歌手马特·巴林（Marty Balin）于1965年建立起来的摇滚乐队，共6人。起先他们在俱乐部演奏一些民谣摇滚和披头士的歌曲，后来与RCA唱片公司签约，发行专辑《杰斐逊飞机起飞》（Jefferson Airplane Takes Off ，1966）但销路不佳。
不久，他们采用了迷幻摇滚风格，与吸毒文化相联系，而且由于吸收了一位女歌手格瑞斯·斯利克（Grace Slick，1939年出生），情况才发生了变化。1967年，他们的第二张专辑《超现实主义枕头》（Surrealistic Pillow）取得了巨大的成绩。Balin以他带有摇滚力量又不失和谐音律的情歌《Somebody To Love》（有人去爱）和《White Rabbit》(白兔)征服了数以万记的观众。而这两首经典作品作为单曲推出后，销量都突破了百万。
"杰斐逊飞机"被称为嬉皮士时代"旧金山声音"最主要的代表，成了美国最负盛名的摇滚团体之一。"杰斐逊飞机"随后发行的迷幻摇滚专辑，如《万物之冠》（Crown Of Creation，1968）、《志愿者》（Volunteers，1969）、《吠叫》（Bark，1971）等，也都很受欢迎。虽然其中没有一首单曲进入"最佳十首"，但对旧金山很多乐队来说，这是很寻常的。他们不在乎排行榜，甚至有的还把"上榜"看作是一件不光彩的事情。
70年代初，"杰斐逊飞机"的人员又有变动，其骨乾除斯利克外，还有保罗·坎特纳（Paul Kantner ）。他们改名为"杰斐逊（星际）飞船"（Jefferson Starship）。1975年巴林（"杰斐逊飞机"的创立人，后离队）回到乐队。过了三年，巴林和斯利克都退出"杰斐逊飞船"（斯利克于1982年重新加入），乐队风格转向硬摇滚。最初的老队员中只剩下坎特纳一人。最后，连坎特纳也离开了，根据他的诉讼结果，乐队被要求去掉名称中的"杰斐逊"，改名为" （星际）飞船"（Star Ship）。尽管如此，"飞船"于80年代后期仍不时地取得成功。
Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band from San Francisco, a pioneer of the LSD-influenced psychedelic rock movement.
Successive incarnations of the band have performed under different names, reflecting changing times and performer lineups, known as Jefferson Starship, and later simply Starship before becoming Jefferson Starship The Next Generation in 1991.
Jefferson Airplane was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
The term "Jefferson airplane" is also slang for a used paper match split open to hold a marijuana joint that has been smoked too short to hold without burning the hands, an improvised roach clip.[citation needed] An urban legend claims this was the origin for the band's name, but according to band member Jorma Kaukonen, the name was invented by his friend Steve Talbot as a parody of blues names such as 'Blind Lemon' Jefferson

Daniel Dale Johnston was an American singer-songwriter and visual artist regarded as a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes. Most of his work consisted of cassettes recorded alone in his home, and his music was frequently cited for its "pure" and "childlike" qualities.

Charles Mingus' debut for Columbia, Mingus Ah Um is a stunning summation of the bassist's talents and probably the best reference point for beginners. While there's also a strong case for The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady as his best work overall, it lacks Ah Um's immediate acccessibility and brilliantly sculpted individual tunes. Mingus' compositions and arrangements were always extremely focused, assimilating individual spontaneity into a firm consistency of mood, and that approach reaches an ultra-tight zenith on Mingus Ah Um. The band includes longtime Mingus stalwarts already well versed in his music, like saxophonists John Handy, Shafi Hadi, and Booker Ervin, trombonists Jimmy Knepper and Willie Dennis, pianist Horace Parlan, and drummer Dannie Richmond. Their razor-sharp performances tie together what may well be Mingus' greatest, most emotionally varied set of compositions. At least three became instant classics, starting with the irrepressible spiritual exuberance of signature tune "Better Get Hit in Yo' Soul," taken in a hard-charging 6/8 and punctuated by joyous gospel shouts. "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" is a slow, graceful elegy for Lester Young, who died not long before the sessions. The sharply contrasting "Fables of Faubus" is a savage mockery of segregationist Arkansas governor Orval Faubus, portrayed musically as a bumbling vaudeville clown (the scathing lyrics, censored by skittish executives, can be heard on Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus). The underrated "Boogie Stop Shuffle" is bursting with aggressive swing, and elsewhere there are tributes to Mingus' three most revered influences: "Open Letter to Duke" is a suite of three tunes; "Bird Calls" is inspired by Charlie Parker; and "Jelly Roll" is an idiosyncratic yet affectionate nod to jazz's first great composer, Jelly Roll Morton. It simply isn't possible to single out one Mingus album as definitive, but Mingus Ah Um comes the closest.

The saxophonists trade choruses and come off sounding like mirrored images of one another in the slower, post-bop blues that is "Sid's Ahead." With a slippery melody line that quotes two harmonic lines from early New Orleans-styled blues, Davis drives the band into the rhythm section's garage. It's Cannonballfirst with his stuttered, angular lines, hiccuping halfway through the interval before continuing on with a squeak here and the slightest squawk there. Next up is Davis, blowing fluid and straightened lines, ribbons through the rhythm section's center as Red Garlandlays out and leaves it to Paul Chambersand Philly Joe Jonesto provide the earnest, time-keeping 4/4 that Davis sidles to in the tune. When Coltranesolos, all best are off as he plays as pure a blues as he was capable at the time. Nonetheless, there are the long lines of slurred notes, smattered against Garland's harmonies and he slips into quoting "Skip to my Lou" before knotting it back down to the basics and even then not for long. Coltranewas already exploring the edges of mode and harmony; he used an intervallic invention in the choruses to juxtapose his solo against the rhythm section and it worked -- but it must have made Davis raise an eyebrow. Chambers' solo is as tasteful and as breezy and free as only he could be. His contrapuntal soloing rides the rhythm out, Garlandstriding along quietly until the tune returns

William John Evans was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly played in trios. His use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continues to influence jazz pianists today.
