jzzmusician, I'll have to listen to that clip another couple of times; I was way too distracted by Liz Wright. I think I'm in love.
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.

O-10, oh geez....do I have to do this? Frogman 10-04-2014 **** I do think that Blakey sounds, as usual, a little lazy and sloppy. That’s his style but not my cup of tea. He is obviously a great drummer.**** Orpheus10 10-04-2014 ****As I sit here trying to respond to your post, I get more and more "discombobulated"; Art Blakey a "sloppy drummer".....**** In keeping with what I wrote; I would say. Nonetheless, if you insist on feeling that I think that "everything you utter is directed at me" and that "I lay claim to things that I didn’t say about Blakey’s drumming", by all means, knock yourself out; the facts are the facts. In the meantime, how about a meaningful comment about music instead of bs? You are, after all, "the one and only Orpheus". Oh, and a minor detail: The comment that you were referring to, we now learn, was FROM A DIFFERENT THREAD and posted TWO YEARS BEFORE THIS THREAD WAS EVEN STARTED! Why on earth would anyone think that you were NOT referring to a comment made by someone ON THIS THREAD. Are you serious? Btw, I know you are a fan, sorry to report Gato Barbieri passed yesterday. RIP, Gato. This one's for you O-10. Not exactly my cup of tea, but the guy definitely had a sound and played from the heart. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IX5pfCFjmVo |
orpheus10 OP 2,724 posts 04-02-2016 8:40pm A long time ago, someone not even on this thread, mentioned that Blakey played behind the beat, and I mentioned it with no thought of Frogman. The real question is why does Frogman always make mountains out of mole hills and think everything I utter pertains to him personally, and why did Frogman go on and on; he does that each and every opportunity he can find. He wrote three long paragraphs about "Behind the beat or in front of the beat". Not only that but he totally misinterpreted what was about nothing, without even a thought of him in mind. shadorne 5,291 posts 08-17-2011 10:53pm Art plays in front of the beat. He gives it an energetic sound but I can understand Foster_9's view. Many find that the pocket lies slightly behind the beat. In contrast, playing behind the beat gives a more relaxed feel. Some drummers can play both styles with ease and move around in order to create tension and release in the music. Think Elvin Jones. Now that the two posts are juxtaposed, there can be no misinterpretation, although it was Foster_9 who stated that Blakey played behind the beat, and that's what made me think "Behind the beat or in front of the beat, I still like Art Blakey". Enjoy the music. |
