Thanks pjw for that interview. I've read the Miles wanted to record with Hendrix but wondered how he was exposed to his music -- radio airplay? friend's records?
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.

Hello pryso its been a while. Yes its a short video but full of great remembrances by McGlaughlin. Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell was a huge fan of Toney Williams. John McGlaughlin and Mitch Mitchell were once in the same band together. One night after doing a show at the Village Vanguard Mitch Michell invited John and organist Larry Young and bassist Dave Holland to come with him around the corner to Electric Ladyland Studios for a jam session with Jimi. Mcglaughlin was playing a hollow body electric guitar at the time. Mcglaughlin met Hendrix drummer Buddy Miles from Hendrix's Band Of Gypsies group that night and Buddy brought John to one of Hendrix's live performances at Madison Square Garden. |
Thank you... I focus my energy to bought many of his albums.... He was unknown to me.... I like european jazz but particularly nordic jazz very much.... |
I like the Nordic Bands , esp, the Danish Radio, Danes are under less stress than any others . https://youtu.be/1D1TFW2QDQE |
