Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Parmesan cheese and a touch of dry oregano is killer on popcorn. Could it be.....? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DD-4zPe4wNg |
Great Cannonball, O-10; thanks. My favorite alto player. This record with John Coltrane as co-leader is classic and features some of the best Cannonball on record. Check out Cannonball's opening solo break on "Limehouse Blues"; amazing! And, of course, the best version of the beautiful "Stars Fell On Alabama" (4:41) that I have ever heard: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EMY667lKfnM |
Could imagine some black pepper with that... Yes - I've been checking in here periodically over the years. Sometimes the family squabbles are entertaining. Sometimes a little tedious. Rok do have attitude (or, as they would say in NE Phila., at-tee-tood) along with some strongly held positions. But enough of this chitter chatter... Check out the Jazz Pistols recording, "live". From the opening crowd noise, sounds like a small venue. The SQ is very good. So is the playing. Jim Carrey is genius. The "out take scene" in the bakery at the end of Bruce Almighty when he does Sammy Davis Jr. singing The Candyman is screamingly funny (well, it was to me). I looked on-line but those unused bits ain't quite as good as what I recall being in the movie. |
