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.

Since everyone seems to be in a Chick Corea mood; how about "My Spanish Heart". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLR1Un97Myg Enjoy the music. |
1976 Don Cherry…. Picked up a copy of this on vinyl about 3 weeks ago. Amazing sound! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuwDDz933ZI |
Yeah Rok, I liked that impersonation of Monk, it brought back memories of him in Nica's book. Right now I'm listening to Chick Corea's "My Spanish Heart"; that was some beautiful music; once he dumped that fusion, he never went back, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps. I can see no difference in "fusion" and my bright yellow double knit, low waist, 2 inch thick cuffs, bell bottom trousers. (they would be nice if you were to form a group called "The Clown Posse") Apparently the final obituary has not been read for this fusion beast, although this is the only place it's still alive; what does it take to kill it. Do you know where we can get some silver bullets? Enjoy the music. |
