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.

This is the most beautiful music and the most intoxicating voice I have ever heard in my life; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36aP8ZmTYww |
"Mas Que Nada", a song popularized by "Brazil 66" takes me back to my youth; while this is a different version, I can dig it; just think, I was about the age of those young ladies when that came out; at this moment I'm right there with them. Those were the days my friend why did they have to end, but such is the way of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p7ToiJ5Q9o |
Steve Coleman is a very intellectual improvisational musician. A saxophonist who’s first inspiration and influence as a youth in the 60's came from Maceo Parker (he liked James Brown), then Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Suffice it to say he evolved quickly from the Maceo Parker funky soul sax playing into a much more sophisticated sound of improvisational layers of sound bordering on free jazz. He has released a few critically acclaimed albums in the last few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6BDz9c8h4I&list=PLqnRvvr2aWWD7FgMFSsFv34BiHRqXtQyo |
