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.

Alex, nice. Full version (13:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtp-1SfYgk Trailer says issue date is 11/5/21. |
Alex, I thank you so very much for that information. According to Keegiam, Freddie "whoever's" solo is too strident. According to Frogman, "Also, he spends a lot of time on the high register at the beginning of his solo; rather unusual for Morgan who really wasn’t a great high note player. I can understand the “strident” comment." With that in mind.................... However, I thank you Alex and I will add that to my collection as soon as possible. |
One heck of a way of “staying away from politics”. Oh, but if only they were “good intentions”…..! Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’m slipping. I have now violated one of my own rules. See, keegiam10 we all have brain farts on occasion; of one kind or another. So, no worries. Good to see you posting again. Nice retort, btw. 😊 https://youtu.be/TRFta9DAdlM |
Nice response to the retort for "The mutual admiration society" but you failed to cover up your own tracks. One of the greatest tunes in "Jazz history" that included one of the greatest solos in Jazz History, played by one of the greatest trumpet players in jazz history, and you have the gall to throw in one of your "trite" criticisms. |
