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 see. Same stuff. This is for orpheus10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEWGtIzZARc&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=1&ab_cha... |
Inna, do you remember when we used to find all of that Arabian Flamenco with the fantastic videos? Maybe you can find some of the music, but not the videos. I like the music you posted, but you knew I would. That's the same music Christ heard, only he heard it live, which is better than any audiophile rig. Most Christians don't seem to be aware of that fact. It's good hearing from you, find some more exotic music. |
This month's "Stereophile" featured as "Recording of the month", Ron Miles "Rainbow Sign", it also featured Horace Silver " Further Explorations". I am going to post music from those two albums and you be the judge; BTW, they were both given perfect scores for performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOncgZFkCdM I chose this because it has a title that Rok might like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNJYXbkrAss I think both these tunes have similar moods. I just want to get your opinion on what is currently considered the best in jazz as opposed to what we are used to. Feel free to pick other tunes from either album. |
