Here's another one. Beautiful saxophone playing throughout. Can't be sure, but would bet it's Phil Woods on the featured alto:

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.

Acman3, Charlie Chaplin’s work is definitely not for everyone; a unique combination of slapstick and pathos. Groundbreaking in the film world. This is not about music per se, although the music is by the great Hans Zimmerman. I am posting this only because I think it’s an extraordinary moment in a pretty extraordinary later movie (a talkie this time) of his and considered one of the great speeches in a movie. From "The Great Dictator": http://youtu.be/nKm_wA-WdI4 |
Frogman, that was an unforgettable movie, and I was shooting pool at that time; unfortunately, I was not the hustler, but the one who got hustled. The soundtrack was awesome. Charlie Chaplins speech was the greatest ever made, but also one that will never be fulfilled because of the greed and lust for money. Enjoy the music. |
Frogman, I think I could sit through the movie in a theatre, but I did not make it through the whole thing on my computer. I enjoyed the music. It changed musically so often I thought of John Zorn"s "Spillane " recording. I wonder if that is where he got the idea of changing tune's so fast? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/jazz-for-aficionados?page=141 |
Zorn does have a whole series called "Filmworks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VNup9ZRZTY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejCAHuGV_FI |
