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.

Rok, that must be my favorite "doo wop", and I have a doo wop collection on reel to reel. I'm not sure about the effect R&R had on "doo wop"; I think doo wop morphed into "Motown", like jazz morphed into "fusion". Out of all the genres of music, "Rock" is least understood by me, because when you done heard one rocker screaming and wailing on a guitar, plus a drummer pounding my ear drums out, you done heard em all. |
Here's a percussionist I like; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y4cc8lzPBI Here's some fantastic Brazilian percussion; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDPuQWg_A8Q |
*****because when you done heard one rocker screaming and wailing on a guitar, plus a drummer pounding my ear drums out, you done heard em all.***** Absolutely!! I didn't mean to say R&R harmed Doo Wop, it was Rock and Rockers. It / they, ruined it for everyone. All the loud noise, drugs, absurd dress and conduct, were required in order to cover up the lack of talent. In the end It didn't work. Most are forgotten already, but we are still talking about Mingus, Miles and Monk ertc..... WAR: I don't know how to classify them, but I put them in the same box as EW&F. Since all popular music musicians seem to be put in the R&R HOF, as crazy as that is, WAR should have been there on day one. I understand they were being considered in the same class with "Chic" WTF!!!! I said back in 2013 when this thread started, "we must defend the music".Everyone sneered. Cheers |
Interesting about Doo Wop. I never considered it a separate category from R&R, rather as a sub-set. But to me it was clearly a contributor to and influence on the development of R&R. This may be original to the style - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFX7aYSWIts&list=PLlO4eQ-H8vrYcuBmzG1a1lKbGjDJDIHuj And here is the transition - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpmmbhHo2rk I grew up on this stuff! |
