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.

Please ignore my last post; something that I know is not entirely without precedent 😊. I must have clicked on one of the links in the sidebar and watched thinking that it was Rok’s clip; that is what my "slide grease" comment, in which the trombone player spits on his slide, was about. Now I can’t find the funny clip. Twilight Zone? Btw, glad to see intonation being paid attention to. Toussaint, New Orleans royalty indeed. |
Today's Listen: Charles Mingus -- THE GREAT CONCERT OF CHARLES MINGUS Aptly named. Recorded in Paris in 1964. 2CD set. Eric Dolphy, what a loss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0qcq9eocmw&t=142s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ZX8li9cAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3fu0SpkZLg A.T.F.W. was spot on. Captured that era of playing perfectly. Cheers |
