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.

No, I can't stand those singers from his latest group, that's not flamenco singing.
Solea and his other solo performances I know very well. In a sense, they are better because it's pure flamenco, but you can't really compare. I think that Zyryab performance is excellent. Those two guitarists, clearly his former students, are also excellent.

Orpheus 10

Acman, it still swings and it's some fantastic sounding music. I no longer categorize, but simply listen to determine whether or not the music meets my qualifications as good sounding music that I would want in my collection, and this will be added if it's not already there.

Did id you figure out if it was in your collection and is it on vinyl. 

I looked it it up and there is a double lp out and wondered how the sound quality was. I love that cut you posted.

Fourwnds, I don't have it, but I will get it.


Zawinul Syndicate 75th Lugano 2007 - Orient Express -. I see that Amazon has it, but I didn't see the LP's I would like to have. That music runs on two tracks at the same time; one is quite intricate; which is Zawinul's nature, and the other is rhythmic, the one Sabine is on.

Is that LP for 23.98 the one you are referring to, is that the double LP? If it is I'll order it tonight.
