Frogman, are you ready to go into fusion in depth; I mean to cover it to your hearts content, rather than just skim over 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.

After Tony Williams left Miles he joined together with John Mcglaughlin and Larry Young! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrlBRsS1nKA |
Acman, now it's coming back to me; to the uninitiated, that sounds like noise, but, if you have special musical receptors in your brain that are tuned to "Fusion", it's music from another planet. Somehow, that music was always best live with black lights that made ladies stockings glow, when they had the right kind of pastel hot pink kind. The music was best live because no recording was ever clear enough to catch all the little sounds at high frequencies that made that kind of music work. And to be perfectly honest, I had always inhaled some kind of musical enhancement fumes; they really clarified the sound; not to be confused with what's going on today. Enjoy the music. |
Here's "Weather Report" live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bIk1Wl21Yk Here's "Black Market" by weather report; that cover looks just like a market place in Haiti. There is no way you can believe someplace as close as Haiti could be so far away otherwise. That music always took me far away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7_vNpVXubA In order to enjoy this trip, you have to turn on your time machine, and duplicate everything that went on when you were buying and listening to this music. Enjoy the journey. |
"Elegant People" by Weather Report is most certainly one of my favorite cuts of that era, and genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThF63iql478 Enjoy the music. |
