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.

A wonderful thread and break from the usual sword fighting over equipment. Ironically, I have picked up a lot of excellent jazz over the years by reading equipment reviews. I have some recent acquisitions that are more avant-garde or off the beaten path that some might enjoy although they may not reach the rarified air of the true aficionado: John Scofield; A Go Go (a collaboration with Medeski, Martin and Wood): has a nice funky groove Hadouk Trio; Air Hadouk (French jazz trio playing funky North African instrumentation) Medeski, Martin and Wood; Tonic (great live jazz in a small, intimate NYC club; one of my favorite live albums) Joe Pass; Virtuoso (he is my fav jazz guitarist) Stephan Crump; Reclamation (outstanding and seamless minimalist jazz) |
Thanks Agear! Some good stuff there. Some known, some not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33LEWowYdgw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVAxCkD4I4w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZgxua_91Lw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boA3onHQB3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svm0gajxmSg |
