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.

While everyone on the "Gon" says "Kind of Blue" is the best jazz album ever, I say "Somthin else" by Cannonball Adderley is the best jazz album ever. I give you three cuts to help you decide: "Somethin Else", the title cut, "Love For Sale", and "Autumn Leaves". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Kag0vqS8CU [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aOK2Ekp760>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tSYXpq2kW0[/uirl] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aOK2Ekp760 Enjoy the music. |
******** everyone on the "Gon" says "Kind of Blue" is the best jazz album ever******** That's probably a true statement of current opinion on this site. Except us Aficionados, we be hipper than that. However, as you ponder the validity or accuracy of the prevailing opinion, consider all the other stuff 'everyone' on the 'Gon' believes!! Then all will be clear, and you can give this 'consensus' it's proper consideration. Somethin' Else?? Maybe one of the greatest lineups ever. Best album ever?? I will have to listen, think, and get back to you. Cheers |
