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.

Just finished listening to this record. Had never heard about this project. It is a great record; liked it a lot. Great playing all around and with a really tasty feel on all the tunes. I like the rhythm section a lot, particularly the drummer. A little research showed that it is one of a series of three "Tribute To Wes M" records, each featuring a different set of guitar players. G-7 is the second in the series, and it has a Vol.2. I came across this for anyone who wants to know who is playing on each cut: Thanks, O-10. https://www.discogs.com/Project-G-5-A-Tribute-To-Wes-Montgomery/release/7115516 |
Rok, I've discovered something that's extremely relevant to all of our "off thread" conversations; something I hope isn't true. It centers around the word "Kibuki" or to be correct "Kabuki Theater". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki This centers around what the election drama has been alleged to be, and believe me, it is very important. |

This centers around what the election drama has been alleged to be, and believe me, it is very important.***** I don't get the connection to the recent election. It is hard for me to stay focused on Japanese stuff. What exactly does a record Producer do? The only CD I have with CTI as the only label listed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OjuCA-SsJM I was shocked to see how much CTI and ECM I had on LP. A Lifetime ago. Cheers |
