There are so many excellent versions of Nica's Dream!
I love them all.

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.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LWaOV2U5vyc Don’t know what to think of this pianist; need to hear more. Very strange YouTube clip, however. I listened to it and I heard what were clearly two (not so subtle) edits at 1:35 and 3:07 and heard what I thought was her quoting "I Remember You". It wasn’t untiI I saw the credits at the end that it became clear that this clip was excerpts from thre different tunes (including "IRY"); but way too close together. Keith Jarrett overtones in her playing and while this is not meant as a dig AT ALL, what little I heard makes me feel that in many ways she is the "anti-Horace Silver": cerebral, dreamy, non-percussive and rhythmically kinda vague. Please report back when you find the CD. |
Nothing kinda vague here. One of my favorite Silver records, but strangely obscure and unknown. Horace Silver/ Eddie Harris; a match made in heaven (Ralph Moore is not too shabby either): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XTdCMqHbwbM |
