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.

I'm back! Almost anyway; there is no such thing as "minor" surgery, hernia surgery is what I had done, I'm still in pain, but they gave me some good dope, uh pain pills that is. My son is helping, I write on a note pad and he takes it down types and posts it. Today I'm listening to music that has no genre or category, it's kind of like I feel after taking pain pills, in betwixt and between here and there. "The Dead Can Dance", and "Enigma" are two groups that move to a different drummers beat. First I'll cover "Enigma"; their music has an incessant beat that draws you into it's world of universal truths, in regard to the sensual aspects of man. Since it's global in nature, maybe you could call it "world music"; but it would certainly be a very sensual and surrealistic world. This page gives you many choices, try them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC_VQ_aXmd0&playnext=1&list=AL94UKMTqg-9CYbse9vUf1vJMdBN78bAl9 Now we go to "Dead Can Dance"; this music is primeval, they use drums that were some of the first ever used, and the sound can take you back to a time before time. Some of this music might still be played by the indigenous people in remote corners of the planet such as South America, or the remotest parts of Africa maybe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZpXPwmbQvc Although "Dead Can Dance" had very interesting music, they weren't as consistent as "Enigma" in regard to a signature sound, I liked the primeval best. As you can see I'm making the best of this time, although pain and recuperating from surgery go together, the good dope they gave me makes the pain go away. (I'm keeping it real). Since I won't be responding to everybody's posts, you take over Rok. Enjoy the music. |
