I thought yours had better music.
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.

These are my favorites in no particular order; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdQYSWOobc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdQYSWOobc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGXFuxKTbfY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4 |
"Bird and Diz" was one of the very first albums I bought, naturally it's long gone, but I will replace it if possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajj9Sv3HQvw |
Jimmy Smith, "The Sermon" ; this is definitely one of the top tunes in jazz. It's best savored like expensive brandy or scotch; meaning the important contributions of each individual artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IKC2BW4pxc Tracks 1, 3 Jimmy Smith – organ Lee Morgan – trumpet Lou Donaldson – alto saxophone (lays out on 3) Tina Brooks – tenor saxophone (lays out on 3) Kenny Burrell – guitar Art Blakey – drums Track 2 Jimmy Smith – organ Lee Morgan – trumpet George Coleman – alto saxophone Eddie McFadden – guitar |
