Rok, I agree with you they're both beautiful; that means you have to give credit to the guy who wrote it.
What are some of you're favorite tunes that you have multiple version?
Enjoy the music.
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.

What are some of you're favorite tunes that you have multiple version? ****** In response to your question: Ran across this interesting chart. The tunes that have been recorded by Jazz musicians the most. The left side lists Jazz tunes written by Jazz composers or written as Jazz tunes. The right side lists tunes written as non-Jazz tunes, but recorded by Jazz musicians / groups. http://www.umsl.edu/~owsleydc/tune_rank.htm Mingus is no where to be seen. :) I will attempt to answer your question in a little while.

Rok, my top pick is "Delilah". The first time I heard this was in Chicago, at my cousin's apartment. He was my "Jazz Guru", and this is from the LP "Clifford Brown and Max Roach". I'm going to present to you several different versions.
