Hail, hail, the gangs all here; they even brought some good music, current too.
Ghosthouse, your music kind of reminds me of one of my favorites;

I am enjoying 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.

Greetings O. Wasn't gonna visit long but you threw out this long lasso and hauled me back. :-) I LIKED that Vince Guaraldi. Tried to find info on the other musicians playing. Guitar work impressed me. Not finding "A Taste of Honey" or "Ballad of Pancho Villa" listed in Wiki for Vince. I do see credits for his work with one, Bola Sete. Is that who is playing? And what is the actual recording, a compilation? Melody sounded somewhat familiar but not exactly like A Taste of Honey that I remember from when Herb Alpert was getting airplay with it. Clue me in, please. In line with, "all flesh is grass"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGmQXuySF28&ab_channel=AUGUSTUS66ful |
I will never forget when the love of my life married another man; that's when I spoke to the river (the mighty Mississippi) I spoke to the river And the river spoke back to me It said man you look so lonely You look full of misery And if you can't find your baby Come and make your home with me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypSlDCbxETg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOHAXdD_mx0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axNkMWRcrPM Take your choice of one of these, or pick another one. Enjoy my music. |
