Keegiam, you’re welcome. Don’t be a stranger; it’s rubbing off on me 😊
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.

Louis Arnstrong THE COMPLETE RCA VICTOR RECORDINGS RCA 1997 4CD Set Notes: "Dear Friends Fans and Public As a lover of "Hot Music" as well as a player, I have been asked hundreds of times if I thought "Hot Music" would die out. I said NO INDEED. I should say: "Hot Music" will last forever. There'll probably be new names for it, that's all. There has been several names since I can remember way back to the good ol' days in New Orleans, Louisiana, when Hot Music was called *Rag Time Music*, *Jazz Music*, *Gut Bucket Music*, *swing Music* and now *Hot Music*. So you see instead of dying out, it only gets new names." -- Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong 1934 Medley of Armstrong Hits - Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dm3_7_47s4 That's My Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DaBtLqkD6o Hustlin' and Bustlin' for Baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAhp6ZDX6bM ***Snafu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwoRLb7hBgg Jack Armstrong Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnkeZt1ANao A Cabin in the Pines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIp_W64Uh44 ****and they say Pops was stuck in the past.
