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.

Something old has been at the top of my list for quite some time. Something new, Brad Mehldau - "Blues and Ballads" is sure sounding good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssgnCeomQFM Thanks for the tip Dave. |
I'm continuing with Stereophile's list of R2D4. Buddy Collette played sax, clarinet and flute; I primarily knew him for his work on flute. He grew up with Mingus in LA, but I can't think of any musical similarities between the two. Buddy Collette Big Band In Concert; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS6HZoTt1TM Sonny Rollins, "Alfie"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_moRogiog0 The last selection isn't jazz, but it was in R2D4, and I know somebody will like it; I wouldn't be surprised if he has it in his collection already. The Neville Brothers "Yellow Moon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlVxx3HVW24 Enjoy the music. |
Hi o, You guys have knowledge of jazz far beyond mine, but I have always loved jazz and have begun to appreciate it more than ever. I recently bought a Hegel DAC and joined Tidal to expand my exposure to jazz by using this thread as a guide for learning more about great jazz using the extensive Tidal jazz database. I will continue to share what I consider to be extraordinary finds as I go. Hopefully some of these will be beneficial to you experts and to others looking to increase their enjoyment of this great music. Thanks to you all for building such a great database of knowledge on this topic. Best to you all, Dave |
