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.

"As for the rest"; Bing Crosby is "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas". To a certain extent, our minds are computers that have been programmed; this is especially true in regard to our subconscious; everyone knows exactly what Jesus, Joseph, and Mary looked like. While we can over ride our subconscious, I choose to "go with the flow" on Christmas music. In regard to "Hello Dolly", all of the above have been more programmed than the original; consequentially, all of the above sound better than the original. If my posts seem contradictory, so are many of the facts of life, just "Go with the flow". Enjoy the music. |
Rok, I've got a Yen for some Japanese jazz; let's try some "Koto be bop". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBOxjrr1wcI Japanese jazz by Brubeck, can't go wrong with that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jwuYoXTftM I bet you never heard this version of "Mas Que Nada" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yjGVeRGMu0 Now if you really want to go out on a limb, you've got to get into "Osamu Kitajima"; he'll take you to places you've never been before, all the way past the 7th Galaxy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbJCTxHrJww Enjoy the music. |
O-10: I liked "Osamu Kitajima" best of all. But all were very good listening. However, you ain't heard real Jazz, until you have heard Jazz from / in, Kathmandu, Nepal. These guys can Play! The band is called 'Cadenza'. Real improvisation going on here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTCc7glkKmo Cheers |
Today's Listen: Roy Haynes/Phineas Newborn/Paul Chambers -- WE THREE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwQKh9RDjWw One of my most recent purchases. Excellent!! Newborn, quietly and effortlessly, plays out of his head. We won't hear stuff like this, in Kathmandu or Japan!! :) Ain't got it? Git outta Jazz! Cheers |
