Thanks for the link to that disc and the other as well. That is some real good straight ahead jazz.

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.

********************the lady is unreal********************* My thoughts exactly. Hiromi solo titled "Cape Cod Chips" with a 2 minute intro on why she named the song after potato chips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y9jsMNmdc8 |
alex Here is a Bobby Hutcherson album I think you would enjoy. It titled "The Kicker" and features excellent personnel. Bobby Hutcherson Vibes Joe Henderson Tenor Sax Duke Pearson Piano Grant Green Guitar (4 - 6) Bob Cranshaw Bass Al Harewood Drums Here is "Step Lightly" my favorite song on the album. Its way cool and laid back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbxLxZVJ9nw |
Today's Listen: Wynton Marsalis Septet -- BLUE INTERLUDE Notes:...."Marsalis arrived in Jazz with both a technical fluidity that had little precedent and an acknowledged authority in European Concert music that no Jazz musician before him had ever possessed. .....Coming from New Orleans he was immersed in the Blues tradition, but having grown up during the fusion era, he had no awareness of the importance of the Blues to Jazz".-- Stanley Crouch WTF??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8nTqBea87o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3AN4rVqQ54 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I67Z6EV2Dhg Cheers |
