It's not about any of the symptoms people rail against. It always has been, and will be about the heart.

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.

orpheus10 I think all artists in one way or another are a product of the society they live in and reflect this consciously or subconsciously. Maybe an artist plays their sax,for example,more strongly or softly, subconsciously, to reflect their internal view of society. Or an artist may consciously write lyrics bemoaning society or showing the beauty of something they have experienced, which reflects their feelings. If musicians today were to reflect society I feel the music would have to be turbulent and as pryso said , discord and i add, dissonance. someone I just discovered: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7WfPqd4s7wY classic Wes: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dqn3PF_DcSg in rotation on my stereo: Blue Note blues; http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ixzfBEQ2t_w Getz: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YWErSDDu89c |
pryso & frogman Thanks for the Sarah V. recommendations. pryso I was confused and now realize I like the earlier version of "Time After Time". That Herb Alpert cover is a classic ! acman3 I like Ken Vandermark also, especially the Vandermark Five group, whose music is a little more accesibile than his other work. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wV4VYj2t25c |
