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.

Miserable rainy day in NY. Heard this on WBGO just now on my way to work. The sun seemed to come out a bit: https://youtu.be/nCuLoVI1RP0 |
Very interesting frog. For all my mentioned interest in Satchmo I don't recall ever hearing him perform with Kaye. The surprise there is my dad (who introduced me to Armstrong when I was very young for any newbies here) was also a big fan of Red Nichols, the subject of the bio film in that clip. But I never felt much appreciation for Nichols so never saw that movie. But Louie performed with so many other major artists I guess nothing should surprise me. |
