I had no idea people still went to St Louis. It's glory days faded right after the wagon trains to the West stopped.

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.

Today's Listen: Marcus Roberts -- ALONE WITH THREE GIANTS Roberts plays solo piano. The Giants are Jelly Roll Morton, Ellington and Monk. Jelly probably would have named it, THE Giant, plus Ellington and Monk. Are the tunes are just wonderful. Even the pianos sound exceptional. They are listed in the notes. Both Steinway Concert Grands and Young Chang 52" Uprights were used. Why was this done? Only The Frogman knows for sure. One tune from each composer: Black and Tan Fantasy - Ellington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCcuwHd9S2Y The Crave - Morton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL3a12m_U7M In Walked Bud - Monk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r15Ri5nSA6k Excellent Disc. Ain't got it git it. Which tune was played on the upright? No peeping! The winner gets the loan of all my Bey Sister CDs. Cheers |
