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.

Since Frogman would rather not respond to that post, I'm going to move on in the same theme "musically".

Does anyone remember the movie "Superfly"; although the color has changed, that's what's going on today.

Today's Listen:

McCoy Tyner -- SAHARA

I still hear Coltrane.  Or was it Tyner all the time. :)  This is one serious guy.

Cheers

Rok, it seems no one is going to respond to the link on post dated 3-20-2016; that was 12 hours ago.

Superfly: "Freddie's dead"; juxtapose that with the link on the post dated 3-20-2016.

Superfly: "Pusherman"; juxtapose that with the link on the post dated 3-20-2016.



Enjoy the music.

Ok Frogman, and Rok; we're going to move on, that's fine with me, I have no problem avoiding reality.

I bought that LP Sahara when it came out. It took Tyner and Trane to make the Coltrane sound; consequently, when you hear Tyner, you also hear Trane in your mind.

I like "Inner Voices" also.
