Couldn’t agree more and I remember a recent post by Schubert, deleted for some reason shortly after posting, that made the same observation. Great clip, thanks!

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 fusion, or coming together of sorts. Great CD. R&B and Country Songs, each sung by a Duet of R&B and Country singers. Great stuff. Three of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3o_mDLyCDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0gAGbmF71U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZ-FJl_YEY Cheers |
rok, you're on a run. For my taste at least. ;^) While I listened to a lot of folk music in high school, it was not until 20-30 years ago that I learned how much I enjoyed bluegrass/string band music. Your "Bluegrass Breakdown" sure had some hot pickin'. And the "Rhythm, Country, & Blues" was a great video introduced on PBS some time ago, after which I bought the CD. No argument with any of your choices. Considering similarities between jazz and bluegrass, the latter does include a fair bit of improvisation. True there are favored runs or riffs that are inserted, but to my untrained ear, those are done spontaneously. In addition, compare the rhythm guitar backup with Grant Green or other jazz band accompanists. Then too, even the banjo was common in jazz groups up to WW 2. Look at Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfORYuSJXTY |
