Rok, FWIW I stated several years ago my reasons for not actively participating in this thread. You can locate them and refresh yourself if need be. But the short version is this - I find it unrewarding to participate in a conversation with anyone who willingly ignores the difference between fact, fiction, and opinion, for any reason, but especially so when it is clear that their motivation is nothing more than that of ego reinforcement.
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.

Listened to David pike. The entire album. Hard to find fault with Brazilian music. This was pleasant enough, but nothing exceptional. Clark Terry was very subdued. If you weren't paying attention you may not have noticed he was there. If they don't really bang on the vibes, the notes will seem to run together. Guess Hampton and Bags have spoiled me. One thing about finding new music. No only has it got to be new to you, but it has to be exceptional. I liked this music, but I would not feel compelled to order it. Speaking of Clark Terry, I was going to post him today, but the 'Ruckus' erupted and I was distracted. Today's Listen was supposed to be -- 'COLOR CHANGES'. Includes your boy Yusef Lateef. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36aF7B5hzv4&index=1&list=PLp2dpqr8nszQCnZ907ZEhA8GqBtHIgOvf Cheers |
