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.

Fellow "aficionados" my goal, my objective, my reason for starting this thread was to help us acquire new music in our collection, not to teach music, or to learn music. Recently we have all made some very interesting discoveries as a result of a "rukus", but stranger things have happened. I discovered that my collection is a lot more incomplete than I thought it was. While that was bad news, the good news is that it can easily be rectified. If the recording quality of these box sets are as good as Rok says they are, my troubles in regard to filling in the gaps in my collection will be over when the mailman drops those boxes in my mail box. Enjoy the music. |
Out of all the people I've seen live, Gladys Knight impressed me the most, and she didn't even have The Pips with her. I don't know how my wife acquired the tickets, but they were the highest price ones that I don't usually buy; anyway, whether I wanted to or not, I was going to see Gladys Knight that evening. Dark ominous clouds greeted us when we walked out the door. "And I'm not even a fan of Gladys Knight", I mused. Fortunately we were on our way into the theater when I heard the first crack of thunder. Once you got inside this theater, a war could be raging outside, and you wouldn't hear it, that was good. After thanking us for coming out on such a stormy night to see her, she spoke about the first song she was going to do, (which I don't remember) and how it affected her and us personally; that's when I realized how much Gladys Knight had been part of my life without my knowledge. "Star Quality" is something you don't know until you see it; she had it all the way, and before you knew it, she made you feel like she was entertaining you (personally) in her living room. I had no idea she had so many songs that I had heard in so many different places, and each one of those songs was a part of me. Here's Gladys Knight's album, and you can pick out your "Gladys Knight" song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS3Y_OISzr4 Enjoy the music. |
Rok, I thought I had answered your question. Yes it does make a difference; Rudy discovered that if you cut down the volume, that gave you more room for dynamic range. The difference between soft and loud can be very distracting when the volume is high; recording level is a tricky issue. Enjoy the music. |
