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.

Stop the nonsense please. Damn I come to this forum because I love jazz music and during the past few months you all have enlightened and inspired me to go deeper into this art form. But damn are we not grown men and women or are we just complaining bickering children with none thing better to do. Orpheus10 this was my concern when I first ask you to chill with the social and political agendas. This is not the place or forum for those discussions. I’m certain you can find that else where on the internet. It would be sad but justified for Audiogon to censor and block us all that continue to show these acts of expression. I’m a jazzman and I’m guessing you all are too. Coltrane, Miles, Bird, Ella and Diz remember! I personally get enough of that other crap from my local news and CNN. I don’t need it here. Cheers |
Pryso here is an album of Joe Jackson that you may like. Its called 'Jumpin Jive' and it is made of famous covers...jazz,swing and jump blues music...from 1981. https://youtu.be/HjioNleJ3cI https://youtu.be/q_scNPUGcDs https://youtu.be/g-l1eiu47_A by the way, Jackson says, for himself, that he is classically trained musician who always played pop music and quite a few jazz gigs...soon he realized that never he would become jazz musician, but he managed to fake it pretty well... |
