Rok, I thought those bell ringers were beautiful. My son played sax when he was a few years younger than the bell ringers, I went to every concert and loved it. I like to see young people perform.
Enjoy the music.
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.

"Lou Donaldson" is a musician I liked before I even knew definitively what jazz was. "Blues Walk" was his first tune that captured my attention, that was followed by "Peck Time". While my tastes in music have evolved considerably since then, I still like Lou Donaldson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNR7822K_40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh0rmzefIhM Here's a little gospel and jazz that's really soulful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2ERGSEyBeM Enjoy the music. |
The cover of the Lou Donaldson LP shows him walking with his AX in a case. Have not seen that in ages. :) I have his CDs, 'hot dog' and 'alligator booaloo'. I always associated him with 'soul' Jazz. The bell ringers were great. I was just showing how the audience didn't seem to be moved. Not even a head nod. A person could suffer from a thrombosis in the legs at a Brubeck concert. Could not find a shot of Brubeck in concert himself with a shot of the audience. Cheers |
