Rok, I have a 2 LP set that's not well recorded, I didn't know about the 2 CD set, or probably hasn't been available that long.
If it's better than the LP's, I'll get it.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
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.

You missed your chance Rok, I got a yen for some zen, and I know where to find it; in that Khmer jazz in upper Cambodia; them cats get down; listen to these beats; can you dig it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBVNgEPRNBY I just missed that trip; no joke, I never registered and MP's came to my house, but I wasn't home, and it was right after I got my discharge. Of course when they found out they didn't come back. If I had known they could jam like this, I would have gone just to catch a few sets. Enjoy the music. |
