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.

This is truly "World" music because they borrow sounds from around the Globe. On "Kiko" they begin with Japan, stop in Africa, and then on to Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWGKwNt9NY8 I know I've posted "Yulunga" before, but I find it hypnotic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z42ENG79hTo Dead can dance "Rare Trax", this is more drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KdXjFDKVZA Enjoy the music. |
I know you all hate this group and this CD, so spare me your boos, hisses and cries of outrage. I have a question that only The Frogman can answer. It's driving me nuts. At 4:26, just as Marcus Printup finishes his solo, Wynton comes in with one note at 4:26. Is this note just the first note of his solo, or is it a musical thingy/event that has a name? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7eeb1MTkUY Thanks Cheers |
My favorite artist who should have gotten more recognition is "Lorez Alexandria", and this is my favorite version of "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWXimvRssmQ This is the version that resonates with me personally; my only complaint is that it could be longer. Here is another one I like by Lorez. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH3own5sERU Enjoy the music. |
