Schubert, devout fans of Gene Ammons like myself, couldn't care less if you never even heard of Gene Ammons, much less how much you listen to him.
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.

Here are a couple more tunes by Ammons that I like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If77_P8v7iE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AFyS7sZvN0 |
I am sorry to say that I fully agree with Schubert, and more. But I wouldn't have put it quite straightforwardly as he did. This doesn't mean that I wouldn't have wanted to. Orpheus10, our taste is sometimes similar or at least not dissimilar, but at other times I completely fail to understand you. Schubert listens to classical music, I don't, and yet.. I know when classical musician plays as it should be played. And I truly miss Paganini, I guess. |
Evidently, this is provoke Orpheus night; because the only comments that have come in recently are in that direction. Inna, I asked you a question so long ago that I forgot what the question was, now you come in siding with Schubert about Gene Ammons, when this is the first time I ever heard you comment on Gene Ammons, I'm not sure you know who he is. You understand Schubert, who listens to classical music and comes down hard on one of the most outstanding jazz musicians, on a jazz thread. I don't think you or Schubert understand each other. |
