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.

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley Cannonball(alto), Sergio Mendes(piano), Durval Ferreira(guitar), Octavio Baily Jr(bass), Dom Um Romao(drums) CANNONBALL'S BOSSA NOVA Capitol Jazz 1962 / 1999 Notes: "Adderley's approach here is to deal entirely with Brazilian material---he swiftly rejected as artificial any thought of twisting either pop standards or Jazz originals into a Bossa Nova format." He and his playing style fit this music perfectly. corcovado (alternate take) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyGxszkDgiY clouds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Zoa1YtPQQ groovy sambas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSeBbZx1m7I o amor em paz (once I loved) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B7SCa0bjeE Cheers |
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley Cannonball(alto), Nat Adderley(cornet), Junior Mance(piano), Sam Jones(bass), Jimmy Cobb(drums) CANNOBALL'S SHARPSHOOTERS Mercury / Japanese Remaster 1958 / 1986 Notes:..."from this the talk got to the state of Jazz in general, about which he remarked, "I think we're going to have a recapitulation. There are some Jazz performers who are trying to lead it to the concert hall and a common ground with Classical music. However -- the best way I know to say how I feel about it -- I don't think Buddy Bolden would dig that too much." straight, no chaser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOnQZ3J2H9c our delight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmGenUcsx5g if I love again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1s2TGLTKF0 i'll remember april https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_6xW-D3YgU Cheers |
