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.

JIM HALL trio featuring TOM HARRELL

A marvellous album... Very imaginative but relaxing...

I own many albums of Tom Harrell... I think he is very good in improvisation melodic line and rythm and stay natural and minimalistic... I am in love with trumpet for a long time ...it even prevent me to understand sax playng for a long time ... Nobody is perfect...

But recently i fall in love with a trombonist of the greatest gifted musicality : Steve Turre ..

A genius I am in love with his instrument which surprize me to begin with ..But none of his albums are bad... I cannot pick one...

@mahgister,

You are such an avid reader of books, even of different languages I thought you were a professor.

In fact, I wanted to share with you a book I have read that was originally written in your native French language by Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop ’Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology’.
