Rok, now I remember "Terje Rypdal"; he takes you to the "Misty Mid Region of Weir", that's someplace in my imagination which exists when I hear Terje. It's a place that only exists in another dimension; now you got it.
Enjoy 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.

Rok, our collections are a treasure indeed. Although I've been searching and not finding, it's my nature to search, and I'll continue; at least I'm finding interesting African Culture that probably existed before slavery; besides unique rhythms, each village had different dances. You wouldn't be referring to Miles aunt, "Madam Corrine", would you? Enjoy the music. |
Cuong Vu got it right about Wynton and Miles according to me; he is preaching the gospel of Orpheus, although his music has yet to reflect the gospel of Orpheus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46T4YEyX1d8 Enjoy the music. |
****You wouldn't be referring to Miles aunt, "Madam Corrine", would you?***** The one and the same. Otherwise know as The OP's goto adviser on all things Jazz. ****"Terje Rypdal"; he takes you to the "Misty Mid Region of Weir***** I wish I could go there. ****I'm finding interesting African Culture that probably existed before slavery; besides unique rhythms, each village had different dances. ****** There is a lot more to African history than just slavery. Let's just leave Jazz out of it. I was thinking, Before the guys around Nawlins came up with Jazz, it did not exist ANYWHERE in the world. The next day seems as if it existed EVERYWHERE in the world. Must be one of them phenomenals. Cheers |
