Schubert, why don't you post something we can hear, it's not like you can't do it, you just quit before you did it.

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.

Here is an album I find quite soothing; "Sol Do Meio Dia" by Egberto Gismonti, I think I like side 2 best, but I like the rest as well; you find which side you like best. It seems that you have to be in a relaxed, receptive state of mind to enjoy this; like sitting in the middle of a beautiful botanical garden in your mind, but enjoying the prime spot in your acoustically treated listening room in reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUy7UpLTKEQ&t=545s Guitar [12-string] – Ralph Towner Guitar [8-string] – Egberto Gismonti 5:33 A2 Raga / Festa Da Construção Guitar [8-string] – Egberto Gismonti Percussion – Nana Vasconcelos* Tabla – Collin Walcott 8:49 A3 Kalimba / Lua Cheia Berimbau, Percussion – Nana Vasconcelos* Kalimba, Flute [Wood], Voice – Egberto Gismonti 5:14 A4 Coração / Saudade Piano – Egberto Gismonti 5:57 B1 Café 24:50 B1.1 Procissão Do Espírito Guitar [12-string] – Ralph Towner Guitar [8-string], Voice – Egberto Gismonti Soprano Saxophone – Jan Garbarek B1.2 Sapain / Sol Do Meio Dia Flute [Wood], Voice, Other [Bottle] – Egberto Gismonti Percussion, Voice, Other [Tama, Corpo, Bottle] – Nana Vasconcelos* Performer [Bottle] – Collin Walcott, Ralph Towner B1.3 Dança Solitária No. 2 / Voz Do Espírito Guitar [8-string] – Egberto Gismonti B1.4 Baião Malandro / Fogo Na Mata / Mudança Berimbau – Nana Vasconcelos* Piano – Egberto Gismonti You have some real masters at work on this album who are totally focused on creating one unique piece of music. |
