Wow! Thank you for the Jam Session!
Speaking of Spiritual music, my Latin teacher's husband introduced us to Gábor Szabó's music. Mind you, we were only kids...
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.

thanks again for expanding my horizons. I have listened to at least one album from everyone you mentioned and I have enjoyed most all of your suggestions . I still really enjoy listening to simple 50’s-60’s style jazz and closing my eyes and imagining that I’m in some smoky nightclub on the lower east side, tapping my toe. |
" I still really enjoy listening to simple 50’s-60’s style jazz and closing my eyes and imagining that I’m in some smoky nightclub on the lower east side, tapping my toe." Nothing wrong with that! I listen to that sort of stuff, too! I grew up not too far from Manhattan but a generation too late to see such greats at that time, in that place. I didn't suggest any recordings from the early careers of the artists mentioned because I assumed others would probably mention those. Happy listening!

@stuartk , LOL, I’m a Midwest boy born and bred, but I traveled way to much during my working years. No need to suggest albums from those who you have already mentioned, I will go through the list again and listen to all I can find.😁. Then I’ll be back asking for more if you have ‘em.😊 |
