Rok, I happened to be listening to this album, and I was wondering if you have it "Soul Stirrin" by Benny Green on trombone.

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.

Frogman, I don't think expressing points of disagreement is "throwing rocks", and apparently you don't either. What is "stereotypical" to one person is really "gittin down" to another person; that's because the other person hasn't heard as much jazz, consequently, what's old hat to me, is new to you, and you don't recognize it as "stereotypical" because you haven't heard it before. Enjoy the music. |
Today's Listen: Grant Green / Sonny Clark -- The Complete Quartets The OP's boy. Well, he can play. Every tune well played by both Sonny and Grant. Great tone on the guitar. Lots of standards. And I think this maybe be why the OP was sort of disappointed. Well played standards, but nothing that really reached out and grabbed you. No 'Senor Blues' type tunes. Too Many like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9R--KOCgUo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTD-4AozN5o Not enough, or none, like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4qLD3c2rGA But, a very nice record. Cannot fault his playing. Cheers |
