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.

Frogman, if that Jug's piece was considered pop, I guess this player also may fall into that category. Lenny Hambro, from his 1956. album 'Nature of things', with Eddie Costa, Sal Salvador Great tone, by the way.... https://youtu.be/AiPm3Wy6OAE https://youtu.be/a21y26qY9O8 https://youtu.be/RGBPqa3g-yQ |
****Apparently he or she is completely outside of my musical awareness. Is that good or bad for "Enigma".?**** O-10, my moment was not a judgmental one. It seems to me that when a musical group that is declared to be: ****the most creative musical group to come along in decades; they have presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components which enabled them to sell 700 million records world wide.**** (!!!) ..... that the inclusion (sampling) of the opening of one of the (the?) most popular twentieth century Classical music works would be highly relevant. Fyi: "Carmina Burana" is collection of medieval poems in Latin set to music by the German composer Carl Orff. Throughout the "Enigma" clips that you posted medieval music is a strong component. |
