The whole album," Modern Lore" Is awesome. Took a little Bill Frisell turn.

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.

Today's Listen: Big John Patton -- GOT A GOOD THING GOIN' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_JGxFK_29c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gQGY5MsexU Very nice, but in dire need of some horns. A Saxophone would have been nice.. Grant Green should have gotten equal billing. Cheers |
This is one of my all time favorite albums as well as favorite tunes; the title is most appropriate, they have been told that Ike has terminal cancer. Everyone has a "Heavy Soul", and you can hear it in the music; especially Freddie Roach's organ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwc1bTn7Fd8 |
