Jazz for aficionados
Here is one of the greatest jams ever in the history of jazz, and not only do you get to hear it, but you get to see it; these are giants of jazz all jamming together. What I like, is the way they look at one another with admiration; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdMRrezUhJw |

"All Day Long"; I could listen to this all day long, and think of any other activity I could be engaged in "All Day Long" while listening. Life is good, but it would be a lot better if I was 50 years younger. This is the "creme de la creme"; it don't get no better than this, all these performers were at the top of their game. (mine wasn't too shabby either when I first heard this) This begins with a drum roll by Blakey, and Kenny B strumming on his guitar, before Lou Donaldson comes out blasting on that sweet alto of his (I love that tone). Kenny B. comes back plunking that most distinctive guitar before the most illustrious Jimmy Smith takes over. (I could distinguish these musicians by the sound of their instruments alone before reading the cover, can you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqt77N0ne8 |
