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.

I would not know, is it true or not, but somebody said... https://youtu.be/IZ-w_IKGRFM But,than again, I had a girlfriend who would come to my place and used to say, ’play me something, as long is not jazz or sad music’... |
A favorite little known tenor player. Beautiful player with a gorgeous tenor sound full of nuance. Never hits you over the head and lets the listener lean into the playing to hear a beautiful sense of logic and depth: https://youtu.be/VnLfgzdya2U https://youtu.be/kbky4ga69Zc And can tear it up when called for: https://youtu.be/uMm9PGIb5GI |
Ihttps://youtu.be/3gBKZ4f6eOc I don’t know how well or not this artist is today , first time I heard him was on car radio yesterday . From what I could find he seems like a classy player , easy on the ears .original but takes care of business as well . Ditto;https://youtu.be/nimGB414ABM Phil Woods come into 2nd piece about 13:15 .
