Ghosthouse, it was "Pilgrimage" that was his last recording.
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.

Btw, I think your bro in law has been listening to the wrong bass players (funny analogy though). Tell him to check out this fly: https://youtu.be/AkGzV8O2vAc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu2MVMx60_g And check out Joe Pass' tone on this live version of "Oleo". Outstanding! https://youtu.be/_RPkohp10EQ |
O - I liked best of all that 3rd video w/Dakota Staton scatting. If you want to put up a good example of West Coast jazz, I will check it out. I recall some discussion about that going back a good few months (or more). Did not follow it then. Frogman - I misunderstood about Brecker's last recording. Not sure Orsted Pedersen's playing - as good as it is - is going to change my b in l's mind about double bass solos. He doesn't have anything against them as part of a rhythm section...just doesn't appreciate paying to hear Jarrett or the like and then being subjected to an extended double bass solo. I think he doesn't view the instrument as a suitable vehicle for conveying melodic content. What they do try to convey, he ain't buyin'. :-) |
