I don't think you will get any disagreement on your analysis. Just the dance performance by Plisetskaya sealed the deal.
That was Jazz, and she was the soloist. Awesome!!

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.

Stars Galore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4p0LGQBpSU Cheers This is supposed to be over the top. That's part of her 'thing'. |
This is one of the few times that I concur with the Frogman almost 100%. As you already know Rok, I detest stylists who do vocal gymnastics when they are totally uncalled for, and on the wrong song. While Frogman chose the right artist, as she stated, she had a cold; this version would have been better; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCF0Fbq5-Tc That version is so beautiful that it takes me back in time to when it was recorded, and I bought it; plus I had this dream where that was playing all the way through the dream, while I was entertaining the girl of my dreams. I woke up and tried to go back to sleep in order to pick up where the dream left off. (didn't work like that) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iB_8k4hb9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE0WDHha6-w |
