Inna, Iranian jazz sounds good to me, even though our definer in chief Rok will disagree; but until then, I like the Iranian Jazz.
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.

Buster Williams new record is excellent! He is overlooked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCSEIVfVvZ4 |
acman3, Thanks for that great live link.Williams is not overlooked by me! I have the new disc and one other older disc titled Something More. From Something More: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj9_WYHJ9m4 I just had the pleasure of seeing Buster live last month and taking lots of solo's at Birdland in NYC. He was the bassist along with Jimmy Cobb on drums, Sonny Fortune on sax, and Mike Stern on guitar in the "4 Generations of Miles" quartet. They played a 90 minute set! |
Inna, I've been in this groove all morning; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz2jOXvoOUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHle2ipjQsU&list=PLDDyPnLSXvQNmxW2fe75vpnCqHh57MEyn&index=4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uXYrk4VFM4 I like to get in a groove, and do a mind and body transfer to ancient landscapes where people knew how to live life for what it was worth. |
