"Silver's Serenade" is a nice laid back tune; Junior Cook's short bit sounded especially good, and then him and Blue Mitchel come in in unison near the end, nice touch. I liked it.
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.

Today's Listen: Horace Silver -- SERENADE TO A SOUL SISTER This Silver is a little different. From the music to the Blue Note album cover. I like both. Stanley Turrentine shines. (1968) My two favorites from the CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZEkxWzUSDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uNzmGsaZQ8 Cheers |
Rok, I remember "Psychedelic Sally", she was one hot mama, and could she dance, she twisted a hole in the floor. That rain dance reminds me of the time when I was in the Sonora Desert, and it had not rained since God knows when; it was so dry rattle snakes were crawling around with their tongues hanging out. Me and the Lakota Sioux were wandering what to do, when Horace, Stanley, and the rest of the cats pulled up in a long black Cadillac limousine; they started playing that there Rain Dance tune, that's when me and the rest of the Native Americans began doing our thing to the beat of the music, and before you know it, we had a thunderstorm. Enjoy the music. |
If any body is still wandering why I don't reveal my friends name, another reason is it would be pointless; it's not that he doesn't have good jazz recorded as a sideman, and as a leader, but that music doesn't compare to what he was playing when he was staying at my apartment that summer; not one single note of that music was recorded; makes me want to cry. Enjoy the music. |
