I don't think I ever heard anything that wasn't great from Hampton Hawes.

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.

Came back from a long weekend to some great clips posted by Acman3. Nice work! As big a fan of Pat Martino as I am, I'm almost embarrased that I am not very familiar with his fusion work. Great clip. What a player he is! One of those players whose ideas seem to flow out in an almost matter of fact way his technique is so effortless. And Orsted Pederson! One of my favorite bass players. I became familiar with him from his work with Dexter Gordon. Beautiful player. Something else going on during this period: the return of the great Art Pepper after a hiatus. He returns with a more aggressive, less cool, sensibility: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ian7n2QjsU One of my favorite jazz-jazz (☺️) records from this period: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_OdVhZC_dF0 Lest anyone get the wrong idea, 1978 in fusion coming up (and more jazz-jazz). Thanks, Acman3. |
