Rok, once the full impact of that video hit me, it almost brought tears to my eyes. This is the first time I ever saw all those stars together, making some of the best jazz that's ever been made, on one of the best jazz albums that's ever been made. Jazz performances are like snowflakes, they can never be duplicated. No matter how many times the title track "Moanin" was made, and no matter who made it, none of them can compare to that performance at that time. Each "jazz classic" is a part of my history; that was released just before I joined the Air Force, and no one knows better that you about the good times a young service man can have. That album could serve as the soundtrack for a movie of my life at that time; while there was some "Moanin", there were also quite a few "Bettys" that came along to brighten up the day. And to think Lee Morgan was not yet 21 when that album was made, is an indication of his musical accomplishments that were to come. Enjoy the music. |
In case you didn't believe your ears, maybe you will believe your eyes. Clarke just has to be the most laid back bassist in Jazz. Reminds me of the Ferrell clip. I wonder if McCoy is not thinking, "Damn, and I thought Trane was weird!!" But he is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiI2ZHmxPPo Cheers |
