McLaughlin/ Hellborg played this in 1987 concerts. Better than Mingus let alone the rest.

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.

Alex, here's something else for the city. Picture that time of evening when the sky turns dark red, but not dark enough for window lights in the skyscrapers to stand out bold. That's the prelude to a lot of things; maybe even a kiss; that's the prelude to "Bohemia After Dark". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EwGijmqKc Bohemia after dark is all the way live; all the love that life can promise is just waiting for someone to be at the right place with the right words spoken to the right woman at the right time. ( 40 or 50 years ago of course) on one of the many streets of dreams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOQzRwUNS2g |
Orpheus, read that short biography about Shaw, he recorded his music in Chicago and even had a club there. Maybe you even have visited it? I have his first two albums, they can be found on Amazon.... When I saw title ’Bohemia after dark’ thought that will hear this version... Kenny Clarke,with Adderley brothers, D.Byrd,H. Silver, Chambers and Richardson... https://youtu.be/As4r4C0ZdMc |
