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.

Hey, O - good luck getting the Lavandula CD. First run sold out at "Sonic Pieces", the Berlin label he records on. 2nd edition was produced but their on-line shop is closed until Jan 25. I did find a downloadable version available at Junodownload (WAV, FLAC, ALAC & AIFF) if you roll that way ;-) otherwise you'll have to wait for the Sonic Pieces store to reopen. And don't believe that mention of "we're closed but you can buy our stuff at ANOST" if you click on <<Purchase CD>>. Can't tell you how much time I wasted looking around the ANOST site for it. http://www.junodownload.com/products/takeshi-nishimoto-lavandula/2243115-02/ http://www.sonicpieces.com/sonicpieces018.html |
w/respect to "mellowness". Frogman had turned me on to Pat Martino. Came across his El Hombre (Rudy Van Gelder remaster) - debut from 1967. It is very good BUT I also this evening stumbled onto his 1998 Stone Blue. VERY impressed with this one. Especially the remake of "Joyous Lake" it contains. Sax (4:30) and Piano (7:50) solos are excellent. Don’t know the other musicians, maybe you do. Personnel Pat Martino – guitar Eric Alexander – tenor saxophone Delmar Brown – keyboards James Genus – bass Kenwood Dennard – drums, percussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBsyQmorCIM&ab_channel=aseaoffaces |
