Rok, I really appreciate that rundown on your exposure to Previn. I'm going to give everything you mentioned a serious listen and get back to you.
Enjoy the music.
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: Today's Listen: Lee Morgan -- CORNBREAD All the tracks are great. With this line-up, they should be. This one, "Ceora", is mo' better great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECw3WAX41OA Cheers |
Today's Listen: Chick Corea -- SOLO PIANO STANDARDS Highly recommended. Could not find a youtube of the CD. I did find a youtube of my favorite selection from the Corea CD, which is also the theme from my favorite movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HtHEgINHO0 Cheers |
Rok, I went back to Valaida Snow and found some real good entertainment; singing and dancing from the 40's, when life was a lot simpler. This was a time when the working man could find a job, all he had to do was get to Chicago or Detroit, and it also helped the small business man. I could look at this all day long, just bounce around and have a good time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn3lJK2Egwo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14QEoEIvUuk Enjoy the music |
