Inna, I've got a lot of Jesse Cook, but this is different. I've never heard of Chris Church, the violinist. I rate this at the top of the list of Jesse Cook's works, and I will get it.
Thank you for posting this.

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.

@frogman Great Cannonball record, and one that I don't have, yet. He is never boring or irritating. I could listen to him all day. He always has a great supporting cast. Full disclosure: I was not intentionally doing a survey of Cannonball. The truth is, I had gotten to the point where I couldn't remember what I had and had not posted. (it's been 8 years) So, I just decided to start from the beginning and post them in the order in which they appear on my shelf. As you can see I am still in the A's. :) Can Pops be far behind! It's also a great way for a person to hear all the music they have on the shelf. Before the OP can say "we have heard this and that before, let me say, too bad! Cheers |
I like the rut I’m in. Gotta love YouTube!!! I’ll get back to Cannonball. Not sure if this has been posted before. If not, it should have been. My favorite quintet of all time. Incredibly free and spontaneous playing: https://youtu.be/fBoHkB92SU0 Tony Williams looks like he’s ten years old (with a mustache). Look at the size of Ron Carter’s fingers! The man was made for the bass. Oh, and the playing kills. |
