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.

Today's Mary Lou: Mary Lou Williams -- ZODIAC SUITE Recorded in 1945. Sound quality awesome. The notes give a short synopsis of the Zodiac signs, and the person she had in mind when she wrote each piece for that sign. Examples: Gemini -- Paul Robeson, Libra -- Art Tatum, Scorpio -- Imogene Coco Taurus -- Duke Ellington & Joe Louis etc..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXveXHcVsrI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDqngdGw7Dk Interesting Concept.

Every Time We Say Goodbye.... Chet Baker & Paul Bley duo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP02sgYrHsw Chet Baker & Caterina Valente duo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knPLl_tVgRY |
Rok, I've listened to all of Mary Lou's music that you have posted, and I found it to resonate with me in a fashion I don't quite understand; it's like a childhood memory that I can't quite recall, but it makes me feel good to try and think about it. Even her versions of the most common tunes, like "My Blue Heaven", are so uniquely different, that they become brand new. Mary Lou Williams has added much to my musical enjoyment. |
