Alex, I don't know how you have so many records that should be in my collection but aren't. I don't know whether I'm jealous or angry; maybe both, but I will correct that situation if it can be corrected.
Thank you for posting.

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.

Rok, glad to see you came around re Chick. One of the greats of his generation without a doubt. He and Herbie Hancock have been considered the main movers and shakers of their generation by their peers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m5khe7BKtuRKg1vXeBlIJUclYjQH53CU0 https://youtu.be/jg6z9d5miO0 https://youtu.be/2zir6HqjDMo Btw, you asked a question re “quoting” and I responded. Agree? Disagree? Thoughts? What were the quotes you heard in the clips? |
