Yes we can all be glad for the Frogmans expertise. This is the first time I had anyone explain how the musicians make music.
Here's Hog Callin Blues.

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.

"Oscar Pettiford is the best bassist ever". Now, somebody is going to tell me, "You can't say that". Oscar Pettiford is the best bassist ever! I thought they didn't hear me the first time. When it comes to this music, my opinion is the only one that counts; except yours of course, that's why I like to share it with you. Today is OP day.

Hog Calling Blues? We should also give a shout out to Mingus on Piano. I always zero in on that, have since the first time I heard it. To my ear, he was the continuity throughout the whole wonderful thing. And the rhythm section was awesome. Hell the whole tune was great. No sense trying to disect it. Why is the CD cover art of my 'oh yeah' different? It's lame also. Cheers |
Complete 'Review' Ray Charles & Milt Jackson -- Soul Brothers / Soul meeting Purchased this on the recommendation of O-10. It was a good buy. If you like Blues in your Jazz or Jazz in your Blues, this is it. 2 CD set. Ray plays piano and alto. Milt plays Vibes, piano and guitar. Sometimes it hard to keep track of who's playing what. But it's all good. I have never heard Ray play Jazz like this. Quite a few big time people on board. Oscar Pettiford stands out. This guy is no Shrinking Violet. You always know he is there. I think O-10 may have a point about Pettiford. The liner notes are really interesting. Sort of hard to follow, the tunes are not talked about in order, and the additional tracks are not mentioned at all. However he, (Bill Randle) discusses the playing in great detail. Uses phrases like "Billy Mitchell sounds like Charlie Parker blowing through Coleman Hawkins' embouchure" or "plays tatum piano riffs". hahahahahahha Great stuff. hmmmmmmm his writing style does seem familiar! Great laid back stuff. Late night with that special someone? Recorded in 1957 & 1958. Pettiford died in 1960. This must have been one of his last recordings. Recommended. Cheers |
