I do try to look for New Jazz. This is one of my newest CDs, but when I put it in the player, Old Jazz comes out.
What's An Aficionado to do??
Caution: OLD JAZZ may cause Ear Hemorrhaging.

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.

You just need to get yourself some NEW cryod cables and all will be well 😊 Your player will then play this. Sound quality maybe not as “audiophile good”, but even better in every other way: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4WPCBieSESI |

rok, great stuff. "The Bright Mississippi" is one album I did add to my collection recently (for me that means a couple of years ago). And frog, thanks for the deeper comments on Rollins' technique. Lacking a musical background I couldn't offer such an explanation. Regarding your Satchmo link, any idea which version (what time) that was? He recorded "West End Blues" a few times. In spite of any "audiophile" credentials I might have, I can easily accept less than pristine recordings of his music. |
