Leersfool, now that I know what you like, I believe I can help expand your jazz collection. Here's Benny Green on trombone, tell me what you think?

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.

Hi guys - just quickly listened once to Frogman's clip - I was not familiar with that band, very nice! I'll have to check out some more of their stuff. Orpheus, I had not heard Benny Green, seems from the two clips I listened to that he is a pretty good player - I will definitely check out some more of him, he didn't actually play much on the two clips I heard, it was much more the sax guys. Rok, yes, the audience most definitely has a very serious effect on the musicians, especially the smaller the group (of musicians, I mean). |
Leersfool, Chuck Mangione is nice on fluglehorn, here he is on "Children of Sanchez". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtxGiqqPTA Here's Herb Alpert "Rise", it's a hot number. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vltC-O7PDYQ Dakota Staton is a female vocalist we haven't touched on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1INhj10CiCE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am2oKRJdGwU&list=PL1AFA363FFD6C4752 Gloria Lynne is another female vocalist I like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkecwh4wJac There are plenty more where those came from; once we get on the right track your jazz collection will be larger than mine. Give these a serious listen and give me a lot of feedback. Enjoy the music. |
