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.

pryso "Timeless" is not easy to introduce to anyone. It's not jazz, it's not rock, it's both. And several songs are intense. Haha maybe the single malt would help. I've been known to go for the single malt whiskey during late night listening sessions.

They say that music is a talent & a gift from God and therefore should be returned to the Gods in the form of a song. Lucky are the ones who are enriched with the ability to create a music that would please Gods ears. I might not be the God nor the Goddess, but this music surely please my ears. They might have been recently posted (you guys are quite active) but still... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LAAi_BanJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49A4ZAXgZts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w5amYH7NeM |
Tete Montoliu! One of my favorites and one lesser known player who certainly deserves more recognition. Nice clips, nsp. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-on4qQYDGVA |
