Seems as if they 'quoted' the entire "Just A Closer Walk With Thee".
Still good stuff.

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.

Often I find music that Acman posts quite fascinating,in sence that most of the time I have never heard of (its not a shame to not know something,but its a shame to remain in ignorance) bands or players that he likes. Even if I do not like it sometimes, I very much appreciate the different flow of mind,or feeling that leads him to listen or discover such music. It also helps me to undersatnd that my perspective about the 'good' music is 'right' just for me. Its very interesting to discover such a vast field of unknown, aldo I must admit that often I choose to stay in my 'comfort zone' (as Frogman would say). Its a subject to think about, exactly from which point of our minds or souls our 'tastes' are coming from... Rok, this should have be your 'title' song... The Skatalites 'The Rock Fort Rock' https://youtu.be/6bLVdKbPHHY |
That so-called 'Jamaican Beat' gets old fast. You could be jamming to a tune, and the DJ could change records and you would never realize it. It all sounds the same. The clip is OK. Just like any other music from that place. Which proves that being high does not result in creative music making. Cheers |
First heard The Skatalites when a friend pointed out that they had “borrowed” this classic... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4DySQyteRI and turned it into this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5yzPelTMcuc Great comments, Alex. |
YouTube is unbelievable! When I posted the clips of bass clarinet players it didn’t even occur to me to see if these two records might be found on the site. I could not imagine that records this rare would be there...they are! The first is by a clarinetist who is a legend in the NYC clarinet scene. A true renaissance man Ron Odrich is one of the country’s leading periodontists and great clarinetist (for fun) in a bebop/swing vein. Amazing individual. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wf7xSSIVrcQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NUCPbV2Dp3I The other is someone who was discussed here recently. Eddie Daniels is probably the most accomplished woodwind “doubler” ever. Amazing player on saxophones, clarinets and flute. Has recorded with Freddie Hubbard, was a longtime member of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis big band and currently plays and records in both the jazz and classical genres as leader and soloist. Incredible instrumentalist. This clip is from his very rare first recording as a leader with guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. Putting aside stylistic issues and preferences, of all the bass clarinet players posted so far this is the best bass clarinet playing from the point of view of instrumental skill and refinement; and he swings his as& off! This clip should put to rest the question of any limitations of the bass clarinet as an instrument for jazz (not the real pic of the album jacket) : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_5cX_S04ed4 From the same record; same player (!). If you thought Dophy was a good flute player (he was), check this out; instrumentally, on an entirely different level: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv2Q2ivSA1A |
