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.

As my Baptist Pastor keeps telling me, "man can't live on Bop alone". Here are my Christmas recommendations and recent acquisitions. NEW: A CARNEGIE CHRISTMAS CONCERT -- Battle, von Stade, Marsalis, Previn. CD and DVD!!! Esp DVD!! 100 Stars! Only Ebenezer Scrooge could not love this one!!

You gotta have it! CHRISTMAS STAR -- The Cambridge Singers and Orch./ Rutter Lot of English, German and French carols here. Sung with those unique English voices. Outstanding!. 22 Carols! Old Favorites: THE MANY MOODS OF CHRISTMAS -- Robert Shaw/Atlanta Orch & Chorus Telarc MESSIAH -- Boston Baroque / Pearlman Telarc MESSIAH -- Toronto Sym / Davis EMI SONGS OF ANGELS -- Robert Shaw Chamber Singers Telarc For those of you, Like O-10, that knock on the front door, when you stumble upon a church: Silent Night from the Temptations Christmas CD. Merry Christmas Baby - Charles Brown Cheers Messiah 'highlights', of course! :) |
When I was a child, my aunt had a big diamond in her ring that sparkled all the colors of the rainbow as you turned it under a bright light. Tired of me holding her finger and turning it, she took the ring off when she came home from work. I never tired of watching the brilliant sparkling colors that ring emitted. I just discovered "Rahsaan Roland Kirk" is exactly like that diamond, he sparkles endlessly; old LP's that I've had forever are emitting new colors. Today I was listening to the computer play list when the music really grabbed me. Although I knew it was Rahsaan, I still don't know the name of the tune because unlike CD's, cuts on Lp's aren't listed; therefore, I can only share with you some of his music that might be from that LP. Remember, when listening to Rahsaan it's not just his virtuosity on the unusual instruments he plays, but the totality of his music which is so different from everyone else's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAyStpDSNzs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWPUKskCv7E Enjoy the music. |
Rok, it wont be long before Mrs. Orpheus will be dragging out her Christmas collection, and it will consist of all the Carols we sang as kids; that's when I stuff my ears, smile and pretend I'm listening; but until that time, I gonna Bop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09BB1pci8_o Enjoy the music. |
