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.

Rok, there's nothing like a live organ, and I say "live" because not even the best rigs can duplicate the "howls and squeals" a Wild man on organ can generate. I've found the best examples I could find of "wild men", but they come up way short. Although these are the same organ players I heard "live", there is no way to duplicate what I heard. These guys could exhilarate, and mesmerize a crowd of people like you wouldn't believe. I know, because I was one of the "mesmerizees", and I can testify to that fact. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK3lNoHrkLc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vILXAc_eO0 Enjoy the music. |
Speaking of Organ. German girl. I know she is the best looking and she can play. I have her on my to buy list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPqYZNqg15g Jimmy smith is my main man on B-3. Followed by Jack McDuff and Jimmy McGriff. The stuff smith recorded with blue note was his best. I never understood why the organ and trombone were not more prevalent is Jazz. I have several by J.J. Johnson and a few by Al Grey. A CD with Johnson and Kai Winding is very good. (sweet georgia brown alert!!) Cheers |
Jimmy Smith, "Walking On The Wildside"! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy8dZEpEYrA Here's Jimmy live in 65. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gobKu4UlxSA Enjoy the music. |
This is the original "Killer Joe". As always, there are beautiful memories attached to my favorite tunes. This tune reminds me of a time when onions smelled like the finest French Perfume, but that's a long story; nevertheless, we played this tune over, and over, it's just too short. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u23Etcb-L9M Mox Nix was on the same jukebox. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns5m-OleLVI Enjoy the music. |
