No big deal, I just threw it out there. Is it his best album, no, but it’s new and not some horrible miss mash of the dregs that fell on the floor either.
Just don’t get me started on the “ Beatles song”!
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.

Another day with among others i already named here, Joey DeFrancesco : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-S6rJo_ANs&list=OLAK5uy_no0K1TBhG05V4EV56mg57BJdFald2X1ic
Just fun and relaxing jazz on Hammond with guitar, a coupling i particularly enjoy ... We need relaxation ...😊 I am so enthralled by my acoustic corner with these low cost modified speakers so good the soundfield is that i dont believe it myself ... Definitely the minimal acoustical satisfaction level may be lower in cost than i ever dreamed it myself ... Immersive music on all my files ... Timbre are natural and soundstage encompassing me in many recording with perfect imaging ... I cannot stop listening jazz.... With one hour classical each day ...

Ouff! too much good stuff in two posts ... Anyway thanks for all propositions .,.. I myself go on today with Joey Defrancesco ....It is not Coltrane or Brecker ...Perhaps not Smulyan or Saft ... He is not in the same high level jazz than some, only good jazz easy to metabolise ... I listen sometimes easy jazz .... 😁 Hammond rule my heart anyway ... 😉 |
