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.

Abdullah Ibrahim -- Very good. The bass player played a role similar to the role the snare drummer plays in Bolero. But he didn't falter. The next Tune up was "little Boy" from the album "Voice of Africa. Also Excellent. Abdullah Ibrahim and Hugh Masekela ARE African Jazz. Both so uplifting. Of course, their music is of African Origin, and sounds like it. The question is, what is it about about the music that says it African?? The same question could be asked about Spainj and other Countries. *****Rok, have you noticed I'm making a lot of mistakes***** Is this supposed to be 'Breaking News' ? :) Nice Posts. Cheers |
Today I listened to Wynton Marsalis' ALL RISE. ( 2CD Set) I think I will have to listen again and again, before I can say anything. It's brilliant. I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ep5UxidC1k Cheers |
Orpheus, if you dont have it already, try to hear 'Easay Living' album of Ike Quebec. Not the one that is often mentioned. He plays along Turrentine,G. Green, S.Clark. Here are some clips https://youtu.be/nQKC5jL_0lQ https://youtu.be/zSp8HBwl2JA My favourite is 'Soul Samba' https://youtu.be/1uY6zlfR7pM |
