Thanks frogman. Back to Back is a gem. I may have it on vinyl in a 1200 LP jazz collection I bought years back. Will have to look...sounds good on Tidal though.

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.

Frogman, fascinating stuff (sax). Please, always share. Orpheus, I believe it was Frogman who used some of the mentioned words, I only tried to make a joke referring to some previous exchange between you too, so I used the album with appropriate title. 'Plain Talk' sounds different as one may expect due to year and players involved (Frogman got it right) so I found it interesing that after all its not so 'plain'. .. Since english language is not my native, hope that my 'jokes' are not lost in translation.... Since you mentioned Quebec and posted Green, here is one clip where they play toghether, from Green's album 'Latin Bit', from 1962. https://youtu.be/WW9BlSmILJU |
This seems to be a time for the jazz train to be diverted to a side track for several of us. I'm returning after two weeks dealing with family issues. frog, on 9/11 you mentioned making the effort to explore new music rather than waiting for (familiar) music to simply come to us. That reminded me of first hearing Ornette in the very early '60s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJULMOw69EI What seemed so "out there" on first listen began to sound comfortable fairly quickly. Then I remember listening to that album a few years later and feeling it was hardly outside at all. Like Mr. Einstein said, it's all relative. ;^) o-10, if I correctly appreciate your situation I'll hope you can continue visiting between low points, and that you'll then return full strength when past all that. |
