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.

o10I just found D King on youtube and yes I plan to purchase something of hers. A lovely voice . I would be crying the blues if she were my EX , she's easy on the eyes. Been a fan of Karrin Allyson for several years.How about these?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZeV4acvr2Ehttp://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=mxEJKo_zHdY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCB9A6Eji8o |
As always, great to see the clarinet get some love. Thanks, nsp. When one puts the words clarinet and timbre in the same sentence it’s hard to not think of Jimmy Hamilton, Ellington’s beautiful clarinet player: https://youtu.be/soXccIs8FZQ Featured in Duke’s band: https://youtu.be/dkgTv8M_yj0 When only one clarinet is not enough. A fun “play” on Prokofiev’s “Peter And The Wolf”: https://youtu.be/pYvkzNC0NwM |
