Acman, here's the "Wikipedia" link on Stacey Kent; it makes for an easy reference in regard to her "Discopgraphy" and almost every thing else of importance.

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 ultimate "Be-Bop", in the same class with the best of "Bird"; now that's saying a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWqQf05dMJ8 Enjoy the music. |
Acman, I must have that album; it was the last by the greatest small group in that era. Clifford Brown - trumpet Sonny Rollins – tenor saxophone Richie Powell – piano, celesta George Morrow – double bass Max Roach – drums The album was identified by Scott Yanow in his Allmusic essay "Hard Bop" as one of the 17 Essential Hard Bop Recordings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Brown_and_Max_Roach_at_Basin_Street This is the album that was my major introduction to jazz. My cousin in Chicago had an extensive jazz collection, and "Delilah" was my favorite cut on this LP in 56 when I was there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt_fmhtePoc Clifford Brown – trumpet Harold Land – tenor saxophone George Morrow – bass Richie Powell – piano Max Roach – drums The only difference is tenor sax man Harold Land as opposed to Sonny Rollins; since I liked both, I must have both. Enjoy the music. |
