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.

two Italian piano players I really likeshttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qzvtm6zFEX0 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_xaqrvxCIZE http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxccv3_QgU4 |
Speaking of piano players, here's one of my favorites for whom I've not seen much discussion since joining this merry band of jazz fans. This is one of his more popular albums, for good reason - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD5_q3I9L_Q&list=PLkLimRXN6NKwsvKxuIhwm85jYXKKhILzv Then here's a lesser known album in classic format with piano, guitar, and bass - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u46rAYyNPmg&list=PLccpwGk_xup9-FYy_QNOWctU_N5WmLb5P |
Thanks Pryso for the Oscar. Love the bass player. :) Woke up in a Charlie Haden mood. Something about this song brings both Joy and Sadness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co443J6cozg |
