I did the same identical thing, she never fails to light up my day. I know she had to be the jazziest dame in town.
I'm always suprised by your selection for the evening, so get busy.
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.

Someone posted that Lenny called Ornette Coleman a Genius. Had to check him out. I only have three The Sound museum CDs and this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMpulMxkzoc The folks on the cover, are guys in Africa who make themselves up like women to attract, women???? Don't ask me, I just work here. Well Aficionados, what's the verdict?? Genius? Cheers |
Here is another baritone sax player, that we did not mention, or better, maybe not enough... ’What if I told you there’s a saxman who was there at the birth of bebop—literally, he played on the very first bebop recording—and you’ve never heard of him? And what if I told you his life story is the very archetype of the tragic, drug-addicted jazz musician?’ Leo Parker from an album ’Rollin with Leo’ from 1961. one of two he made as a leader (as far as I know) https://youtu.be/NaYtKiSxDLg https://youtu.be/L0M1HKkv-Y0 https://youtu.be/oRqXpqkgcm4 https://youtu.be/aoL5bWpaBEg www.allaboutjazz.com/leo-parker-rollin-with-leo--1961-by-marc-davis.php |
