Ran across this the other day. Noticed in the comments that Getz and Byrd were enemies. Did anyone like Getz?

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.

O-10 Good call on the Stacy Kent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUg9RB1uhqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K9vT6wvfSc |
Acman, glad you liked it; she really makes a song come to life, and the music blends in so perfectly, I could listen to her all night. I'm listening to "Isn't This A Lovely Day", and I can hear what I just stated above. It's for sure I'm going to have to follow up on Stacey Kent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K9vT6wvfSc&list=RD9K9vT6wvfSc#t=130 I like this French song and I don't even speak the language. Enjoy the music. |
Acman, here's the "Wikipedia" link on Stacey Kent; it makes for an easy reference in regard to her "Discopgraphy" and almost every thing else of importance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_Kent Enjoy the music. |
