Two fantastic clips, acman3. Loved the Zorn album; had read about this collaboration, but hadn’t heard it. Zorn is a very interesting musician who is one of the stars NYC’s “downtown” scene which puts out some very eclectic stuff. Known as an avant-garde player he can, as you point out, really swing...in his own unique way. Great record. Who needs a rhythm section when you have Bill Frisell? He sounds amazing on this. Also enjoyed the Walt Dickerson. Talk about setting a mood! Thanks for the clips.
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.

Did someone else submit this? After watching it, I wanted to thank who ever submitted it, but couldn't find who to thank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqorVLscxRI No other single musician has had the impact on jazz as Charley Parker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqorVLscxRI |
Never post too early in the morning. First post has same link twice, this is the one that was intended, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8imhzVC9Z5o |
Interesting video clip on Bird. I wonder how Jazz might have evolved if everyone had headed for New Orleans rather than New York. Too many outside non-jazz influences in the Big Apple. I could not tell if he changed Jazz , or was he just the best player to express the change. Was that the woman that later married Woods? Cheers |
