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.

Very good Schubert. Truth is that I can be very stubborn; just ask my wife 😊. I assure you that my Dogged Persistence is sincere inasmuch as my idea of the purpose of a thread like this goes. Beyond that, and on a more selfish note, I like words; and, English being a second language, I appreciate an opportunity to improve my use of it. As I grow older and contemplate doing something else with my time, well...who knows? Regards.

Came across this article about a most interesting study. In some subtle ways (well, perhaps not so subtle depending on one's point of view) the study touches on some of the issues frequently and hotly debated on this thread.

I feel that big bands have gotten short shrift on this thread. This is probably my favorite of them all; amazing sense of swing, tightness and subtley. The article in my previous post refers to jazz players "trading fours". For anyone who cares, in the first tune of this clip the members of Basie's brass section trade fours. What a band! Check out the interaction between Basie and Sonny Payne (drums) in the opening tune; amazing. Enjoy. [URL]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TgtU0FKHBzQ[/URL] C'mon in Rok, the water is fine!
