I am familiar with the work of Esperanza Spalding, Geri Allen is new to me, so as Lyne and Mary Lou. Will make research on YT and will definitely dive into some old posts to see if Rok has posted something similar. Think it will be worth it since I mostly like the jazz he posts.
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.

Rok, here is a very early Mingus I've been perusing that I don't recall posting, and I was wandering if you had it? This music and poetry connects with me personally, but it's not for everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQuL1Vyy04 |
O-10, first, the name is Kurt Weill, not Weils; one of the most important figures in music in the 20th centur and whose influence continues into the present. The point I made was perfectly clear. I’m sorry you could not understand it. Also clear was that the point wasn’t really about Weill per se; you made it about Weill. You see, here we have yet another example of how unfortunate it is that you choose to approach a potentially interesting discussion the way that you do. Your approach erodes any interest (speaking for myself) in further clarification or expounding because history has shown that more times than not your follow up question is nothing but a setup. Very unfortunate. If you truly are interested in understanding you can try rereading my post. If that still doesn’t do it for you and you would like some clarification from me try a different approach. Otherwise, as I said, I believe my point was very clear. One of Kurt Weill’s most beautiful songs and a favorite: https://youtu.be/5dCcGorrT0Q |
