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.

Acman, I always appreciate your contributions. Phil Woods is quite appropriate on this thread, and an extended discussion can be carried on. "Sonny Boy", now that's one of them god old deep in the Delta names, and this music exemplifies "Sonny Boy"; it's as authentic as a delta cotton field, a shotgun shack, or a juke joint. Judging from the album cover, Sonny Boy done caught "The Katy", moved up North and left that mule for somebody else to ride; this music is genuine Delta blues, I like it. Enjoy the music. |
Rok, here's something I found on the tube that I heard live more times than I can count. It brings back memories of some incredibly good times; he played it different every time, I can close my eyes, go back in time and hear it without scratches cleanly ringing in my ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuAQFFOuy3c Here's one of Eddie Harris's most interesting tunes, I was listening to both of these tunes about the same time; the style was Nehru jacket with a big gold medallion swinging from a chain around your neck, I know you remember. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wLSlaP8MOQ Enjoy the music. |
