Frogman, believe it or not, although I bought that LP new, and "Kings of Mali" was my favorite tune; I never thought about the saxophone until you mentioned it, but as you stated "It's the overall conceptual mindset" that counts.
Enjoy the music.
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.

These guys played my kind of jazz, RIP Mr. Miller. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f-OQVGKm4w Enjoy the music. |
Rok, I can recommend any, or all, of the 3 Leaning House recording of Marchel Ivery. While your at it, if you run across any Leaning House, pick it up! The guitar player on the Ivery recording was Clint Strong. Great jazz guitarist. Also played a long time with Merle. How's that for diverse. Mentored by Howard Roberts. |
One who is still going strong and one who has found his own voice.Got to get some more Ravi. New recording is supposed to be good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFtZbha29M |
Acman3: I have Ravi Coltrane's 'Moving Pictures'. I will have have to 'review it'. Have not listened to it in a while. I see where 'these sellers' have gotten their paws on two of the leaning house Ivery recordings. I will order them nevertheless. (used) Since it's Saturday Morning down South, my I recommend: 'Buckwheat's Zydeco Party' A lot of the Nawlins classics. Like to party? Gotta have it!! This guy makes 'hog calling blues' seem like a song out of the Baptist Church hymnal. Cheers |
