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.

O-10: EXCELLENT Clips!! Foxy Divas Galore! I put Kirk in my Amazon cart just now. That was really good. He was much more than a showman. McRae did one of the better version of 'Besame' I have heard. The pictures of Carmen I remember from the album covers of LPs my brother owned. Along with folks like Dakota Staton. Funny how the album art sticks with you. Ode to Billy Joe? When we first heard that, there was a debate as to whether Bobbie Gentry was black or white. Folks had never heard a white girl sing like that before. Same with the Righteous Brothers. Must have been a water-shed period in pop music. It is a great song, because it is authenic. Authenticity always stands the test of time. We all had to retune our ears. :) I would not have taken a 'duece' across any bridge like that one. That must have been the Tallahatchie River. I lived next to the other river. The mighty Mississippi. Miss Horne was a Lady and a Fox until the very end. What a talent! What a Beauty! Loved her 'southern' accent. Thanks for the clips Cheers |
David Kikoski is always good. Keep a close eye on Seamus in the future, but has some good recordings already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk2w93GJY |
