Ghosthouse,I was referring to the JB's; they most certainly didn't suit my mood that day; while I enjoyed Takuya Kuroda, as a matter of fact I'm listening to him right now, his music is thoughtful and original.
I'm enjoying the music.
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.

O - Thanks for the explanation. I absolutely understand. It's like you said another time about "reception". For me, it started out fun but got kind of repetitive and annoying. That Takuya Kuroda was a nice counter to them. Glad you find it worth your while. I did not listen to much of Rising Son. Will return to it. Prefer all instrumentals. Seems like there are some vocal tracks on that. I'm enjoying the music2. |
"Enigma" is the most creative musical group to come along in decades; they have presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components which enabled them to sell 700 million records world wide. Their music fits all the various definitions of the word in regard to "genre"; therefor it is music of the world without any specific definition, or genre, although we demand that all things be classified. My musical receptors make no such demands; the guard at the gate simply says "Come in" or "stay out", and Enigma was welcomed with open arms. I have both CD's and DVD's by Enigma, that way I go on their visual, and aural journeys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_2W1dTMao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZfLIsfredU Enigma explores the depth of all emotions to their limits, and then some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F80QIeequEI Journey to the inner sanctums of Enigma; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbO8KBGWXhA Enjoy the music. |
Alex, Gene Ammons, pretty darn funky. What a sound he had! Nothing "Pint Size"(d) about "Jug"'s tone; huge and funky. Actually, the funky definition of "funky" hasn't changed much over the years and is really the same at its most basic: VERY deep groove with looseness. The two things can seem contradictory, but that's the magic. Beautiful Jackie McLean and Kenny Burrell. Great clip, thanks. Here's a rarity: Ammons with Coltrane on alto (!). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k3drm-bt-vw |
