Call and response. I should have said that. Considering how much Gospel I have heard in my life.
Thanks for your input.

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.

Rok, you open up a whole new discussion when you bring up film music. Definitely the most underrated aspect of film to the general audiences. Music has made the difference in so many great films. Some filmmakers even liked to have the music written first, and then build their scenes around it. A favorite example of this for me is Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West. The use of the music in that film is genius. But, we shouldn't hijack a jazz thread talking about that, so I'll shut up now. |
Leersfool, you've already caused this jazz aficionado to purchase "The Film Music of Bronislaw Kaper", on solo piano. While the music is good it's not recommended for one reason only; when one person on piano has to project such a wide range of emotions, he has to use dynamic range and nuance like you wouldn't believe, this music only sounds good on my "He man" rig. I'm enjoying the way you're introducing us to new music, and elements of music that I never observed before. Your contributions are invaluable, and I appreciate them. Enjoy the music. |
Rok, in regard to Dr. John, I like "Monkey and Baboon" better. There is only one kind of music for me, that's "good music", and Lila Downs knows how to make it. For your listening pleasure; Dr. John followed by Lila Down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ecWUZDOIY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD0ZElWWlKQ Enjoy the music. |
