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.

@inna - Can’t say I didn’t try, though possibly my last effort to find some mutually gratifying listening :-) Not jazz (apologies O) but "Modern Composition". Dunno if that’s the same as your "Neo-Classica"). Check out the Kuba Kapsa Ensemble. Kapsa: Vantdraught 10, Vol. 1 (2015) Kapsa: Vantdraught 4 (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW7YiXY09wI&ab_channel=KubaKapsaEnsemble-Topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL6pRTjmXWQ&ab_channel=KubaKapsaEnsemble-Topic A site that might prove useful to you is: a closer listen - A Home for Instrumental and Experimental Music. I’ve posted about this site elsewhere on A’gon. Here it is again: https://acloserlisten.com |
No Ghosthouse, I wouldn't listen to this. Anyone enjoys Joe Zawinul Sindicate music? Not that I do much but at least I can listen to it from time to time in limited quantity. I am somewhat surprised that so few people participate in this thread. Many exhibit their systems on the system page but little if any active participation. |
