Stanley Turrentine with his then wife, Shirley Scott. Album "Let it Roll" . Swings like crazy. Digital has 4 more tunes. Hmm.
And for Rok, Ron Carter on Bass and Mack Simpson on drums. Great pocket!

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.

Having many of these albums in my collection and all excellent choices, we seem to be over looking a lot of great more contemporary recordings. Just off the top of my head, I'm not in front of my collection. Tom Harrell: Number 5 Chris Potter: Lift Brandford Marsalis: Trio Jeepy Tim Armacost: Live at Smalls Michael Brecker: Tales from the Hudson Hiromi: Alive From the 80's but still contemporary, Wynton Marsalis: Black Codes from the Underground Just my two cents. Great thread.....

Hey all, This is bugging me. @christianb5s4 posted an album by the Jan Harbeck Trio, Balanced. So I listened to it and in the third song, Silver String Valley, the sax sounds like it’s very over modulated. I described it as sounding like a crunchy brown paper bag. Christian said it sounded good to him, so at first I thought it was my power, but I just listened to it again this morning and it sounded the same. Both times, it was played at less than 60-66 dbs, so not loud. Thanks |
@curiousjim Yes, I just streamed it from Qobuz via Roon and it was unlistenable. You are not alone. If someone told me I had a damaged speaker then immediately played that track, I wouldn’t have argued with them. As soon as I switched to a different artist all is right with the sound again. Definitely a bad track and I can’t believe the artist would have released it like that. Are you using Qobuz? Maybe the problem is with them if you are. |
