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.

I don't know what this gal is singing, but I like it.***** Don't feel bad, she probably doesn't know either. ***** Rok, who does this remind you of? ***** Bits of a lot of people, but I am too senile to remember who. Nice rap. I listened to all the posted 'tunes' from everyone. I have decided that, As Chief of Unwashed Jazz Police, I hereby place all of you under arrest for impersonating Jazz Aficionados. I am reminded of a scene from the remake of 'Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy'. The Soviets capture this British Spy and 'interrogate' him by strapping him in a chair and placing headphones on his head. No beatings, no pulling fingernails, no truth serum, no threats. When they took the phones off, he told them everything he even thought he knew. According to the CIA, The KGB did buy a lot of Fusion. Just saying. Cheers |
Carlos Santana is one of my favorite artists, and when I mentioned him before, I was trying to establish the mood of the early seventies by naming other artists in different genres who were popular. I know when I visited some of my other friends who were jazz aficionados, they also had the latest "Carlos Santana". Here's another Santana I like a lot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_YsoCDrnH4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrWqli5cq1E Enjoy the music. |
