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.

For a gentleman who said that 'Seems as if all the Best Jazz, has the word 'Blues' in the title '...this is a fine album from artist who never got recogniion...like so many in jazz, I guess...here is the link http://youtu.be/8X4Tja54qLE |
Jim Wright Trio- South Side Soul I loved it. There is an item on Amazon that includes all four of his albums. It's in my cart. He sort of plays in the vein of Gene Harris. And that ain't bad. He is definitely from / in a Blues enviroment. I can name several Blues CDs, with the name South Side Soul. Junior Wells and Buddy Guy come to mind. Thanks for the clip. Cheers |
Speaking of virtouso, Phineas Newborn was one, again, never received enough recognition. Here is the link where he is in the great company, with Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes, 1958. is the year, album 'Us three' http://youtu.be/Paxz3oCin7k Than again, if we are spaking of blues in jazz, this title says all, aldo the blues is not so really obvious, great album, never the less. Milt Jackson's 'Ballads and Blues' http://youtu.be/Paxz3oCin7k ...line up is great,pity that Skeeter Best never recorded a solo album...as far as I know... |
