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.

Fantastic record, celebrating Clifford Brown, with great trumpet playing from multiple players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oo5kvnA2b0 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHsjiZCVSUg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyfwoFZerKU Jazz is American but there are other lands that love it just as much if not more ! One is Japan which plays jazz with a bit of" lilt" because the Japanese language has a bit of lilt . These guys love jazz it not a show . In first clip check the petite young percussionist in the foreground .A badass little sailor had me swinging . Second one is the most played piece in swing ," Sing, sing , sing" If this is not the most alive, explosive and incredible rendition of this great standard I'll eat my computer ! |
Well, Schubert, it certainly made me dance. I think that song will be my hit of the day. Sing, sing, sing.... more japanese jazz (funk?)...The funk jazz masters https://youtu.be/JmtlaJTf5H8 I have one nice album of them with Lonnie Smith, but its not on ytube. I found its samples here, so perhaps somebody might hear it too... https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/live-jam-feat-lonnie-smith/296493455?l=en |
