And just how are we suppose to know which Jazz was recorded in the 70's. Look at the fine print on each CD?

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.

Rok, the best way for me is allmusic. You can look at the titles of the artist recordings as they put them out. There is a short review on some and may have customer reviews, if your into that sort of thing. If not, don't read it. Btw, I was looking at the gentleman's reviews on Amazon. If that is not you, you should get together. |
Rok, how about a little hip 70's violin? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_s7P11NHRk Enjoy the music. |
With the addition of "Fusion", musical genres had gotten so blurred, that I left it to others for definition; is it rock fused with jazz, or jazz fused with rock; at the end of the day, what do you call it? I quit trying to define the music, and simplified everything with one of two categories, "Like, and don't like". These cuts sounded all right to me. I wonder if "Learsfool" can boogie to this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MFbn8EbB4k I kind of like the beat on this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgiS0Pr3BX8 I just might catch this train; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2It6_FGJXw Enjoy the music. |
