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.

Very good Acman, I've gotten too old to become acclimated to new music; this sounds so good, it even feels good. "All Blues" Miles Davis – trumpet Julian "Cannonball" Adderley – alto saxophone (except on "Blue in Green") John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Bill Evans – piano (except on "Freddie Freeloader") Wynton Kelly – piano (on "Freddie Freeloader") Paul Chambers – double bass Jimmy Cobb – drums Coltrane! Coltrane! Coltrane! and of course Miles and the rest of the group. Enjoy the music. |
I don't think we've heard much of Lou Donaldson, who happens to be one of the first jazz sax's, and also one of the best in my collection; this tune "Blues Walk" is a classic in jazz; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNR7822K_40 Lou Donaldson - alto saxophone Herman Foster - piano Peck Morrison - bass Dave Bailey - drums Ray Barretto - congas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL05FVn5TNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh0rmzefIhM Enjoy the music. |
