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.

As everyone knows, I am not a Blues fan, but I most certainly have to make this one exception, this song is too authentic and real to be denied; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKQlCQKtIg Along with Albert King; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOQE41oeHaY |
frogman, it’s great to hear about Country music fans (such as your wife) liking the "real" stuff, not what’s being pushed by Nashville. John Hiatt isn’t marketed as a Country artist (more as a singer/songwriter), but he is more country than what’s on the radio. He’s a major player in what is called "Americana"---roots musics ("Hard" Country, Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Blues) that operate on an underground, cult audience level. Other members include Lucinda Williams, Buddy Miller (another singer as good as Hiatt---and you’re SO right, John is a great, very soulful singer. Excellent songwriter too!), Jim Lauderdale, Marty Stuart, Steve Earle, Del McCoury, Alison Krauss, Iris Dement, Rhonda Vincent, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Jann Browne, Carlene Carter (June’s daughter), Rosanne Cash, Rosie Flores, Jason Isbell, Patty Loveless, Gillian Welch, and hundreds of others. That’s where the best Pop (non-Classical) music being made today is, imo. Americana music is covered in a great publication called No Depression. It use to be a print magazine, but is now a website. |
