My "bogus" comment was totally sarcastic and in jest, in response to Rok's bogus comment. I totally dig PB's band and the presence of DS in the band is the stuff of minor legend among saxophone players. Your ear is great as you picked up on the rawness of DS's sound. That's EXACTLY what works best in that music. If we think Sanborn sounds raw, check out the tenor player in the other clip I posted. Holy sh?t! Killer! Btw, I completely agree with your comments about being limited.
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.

Regarding the "bogus comment"? Do you mean that? White boys can’t play authentic blues? The remark might have been tongue in cheek but I suspect there’s something behind it.***** No need to suspect or wonder, if I had meant to say that, I would have said it in plain English. The answer is, i don't know. I have never heard one play authentic Blues. I bet Elvis could have, but he went in a different direction. So could many authentic / real Country Artists. ***** My thought is if you want to get all purist about it we’d be limited to some scratchy Library of Congress archival recordings from the early 1900s. Exaggerating to make a point. ***** Not at all. I have hundreds of Blues CDs and LPs. Only a handful are of the Library of Congress sort. Purchased for historical reasons. The Blues is not some musical form in a textbook, it is a product of, and portrayal of a way of life that's fading fast. I am somewhat at a disadvantage because I can't open The Frogman's posts. All three highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u011JBVZGSw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7eOIfFfyBw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0aIjyX7vwI It's amazing what people can do if they leave their arrogance at the door.

Rok, when I was in the service, I developed a friendship with a guy who liked C & W in the extreme. We were sleeping in cubicles at that time, he was at the opposite end of the barracks, and whenever he wanted to converse, he would turn his most extreme C & W up as loud as he could, knowing that I was going to come running down to his cubicle, yelling "If you don't turn that *&^%$# down I'm going to throw you and that noise box out the window." He got the biggest kick out of that, he just couldn't understand how anybody could not like his music. Ray Charles could sing anything and I would like it. Charles Brown sang the original, best, and the only version of that song for me. Enjoy the music. |
