I like your list. One of my favorites from the last decade, you may like. Keeps getting better for me.

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.

Thanks, acman. Hope you (and others) will maybe find something new and likable in it. Thanks too for the Pat Martino recommendation. Pat and Joey D. - two Philly boys. Mad talents both. Pat is quite the story of overcoming. Remarkable. BTW - I think you were the one mentioned following E.S.T. for quite some time. Have recently been listening to and enjoying From Gagarin's Point of View and Tuesday Wonderland. Magnus Ostrom's Searching for Jupiter is also very good. Ciao |
Here is an album that's in almost everyone's collection, it just might be a point where music lovers come together; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUy7UpLTKEQ&t=765s |
Cool, O. Just to be sure we’re on the same sheet of music, we’re talking that Jaime Saft track "I See No Leader", right? If yes, glad to get your endorsement ! (Not being sarcastic either.) Seems like "Side 1" is piano and "Side 2" he switches over to organ. Overall "The New Standard" is a strong album. Now I gotta get acquainted with Brubeck, I guess. I know the name but not his playing. |
