Rok, glad you post you ravings on here,a fool like you would be dangerous in real time.
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.

Very first sounds I heard today when I woke up to this on WBGO this morning. What a way to start the day! There's groove and then there's GROOVE. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LNePe0E7KQ0 |
Frogman, It just doesn't get any better than that. Red Garland is one of those talents you can listen to on many levels. Seems to be just playing simple song cords, but if you dig deeper into what he's doing you will always be rewarded. I've heard his stuff a hundred times and still hear new things. |
The Frogman: Great tune. Also, thanks for the WBGO tip. I looked it up online. Another source to hear great music. Red is playing with Paul Chambers and Art Taylor. Just so happens I was listening to a CD today, with Chambers as leader and Taylor on drums. "Bass on Top". He does a lot of work with the Bow. Bass as the lead soloist takes some getting used to. Seems like it weakens the rhythm section too much. Burrell and Hank Jones rounded out the Quartet. WBGO!! Culture in Newark. Who'd a thunk it. Cheers |
