Like I said....
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.

Inna, I'm going to conclude our sessions with Arabic Flamenco guitar, and get back into jazz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adUkn51t0lc |
Acman, Kamasi Washington is picking up where "Trane" left off; he's doing this in his mind and in my mind. He can do this, and still be quite individualistic. I see he has also scored for films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IZt1bHF0GU This is a guy to be listened to; he is as adventuresome as Mingus was when I first heard him. |
Lets get into the jazz bass players; Ray Brown. Marcus Miller. Oscar Pettiford Victor Wooten Charlie Haden Wilbur Ware Paul Chambers Jaco Pastorius Oscar Pettiford is my favorite, and I might repeat myself. I would like for you to find your favorite and post it. whether or not it's one of the above matters not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EwGijmqKc |
How can any list of great jazz bassists not include Mingus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7CoJEyiSfE |
