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.

We seem to be stuck in Newport. No room for solos by Tyner on this one. Today's Listen: John Coltrane -- NEWPORT '63 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T-pTv8ZlaM Trane once told Miles that once he started soloing he didn't know how to stop. Miles suggested he try taking the horn out of his mouth. Cheers |
frog, I had the pleasure of hearing Basie and band on what may have been his last tour, sometime in the early '80s. He came on stage in a small electric scooter/chair. But once he transferred to the piano bench there was no limitation. The music swung hard and steady all evening! ;^) Regarding Cherry o10, this is from one of the Old and New Dreams albums I have. They are high on my list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUSVOADQObM |
Pryso, I told you we had almost identical collections, and that's another one I bought when it came out. That's the longest cut which means it's probably my favorite. I appreciate that music now, more than I did when I bought it; part of that is due to my understanding of the music, and the other part is the fact that every forum on "Audiogon" is part of the composite of an "Audiophile", and after many years, when it all comes together in one rig, and one mind, we are closer to the ultimate in music than we think. Happy listening. |
