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.

Ok, I am hoping for an answer from Cuscuna and I am trying to help put this issue to rest since I have a strong suspicion that if we don't have some sort of resolution it will keep coming back again and again. So, for the sake of clarity and to keep from further fueling the confusion, can we agree that SOME of Green's recordings were issued in Japan; NOT that ****Grant Green was issued in JAPAN, BUT NOT HERE****. Alex, great set of clips. Evans and Montgomery : wow! If that clip of Montgomery is not proof of why he would become the star that he did become then I don't know what is. What a beautiful tone and light swinging touch! Thanks for those. I will post some 1961 faves later today. |
Frogman, I have that album, bought it when it came out. There has been a raging debate that Wes Montgomery was better before he became famous with the hit records he is known for, where were you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Xozvcf0FA That is my favorite version of "Round Midnight" by Wes. Why don't you just "hang loose" instead of looking for a "T" that I didn't cross, or an "I" that I didn't dot. Enjoy the music. |
Quite often I have a story to tell that goes along with the music; there have been negative comments from "The peanut gallery" but that's the only comments they ever make, (haven't heard from them in awhile?) If anyone feels that I should just leave the stories at home, please say so. Enjoy the music. |
