I saw this a while back and while it may not represent your version of the blues, it is just plain badass.

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.

Does anybody beside me think this trolley has jumped it's tracks again? While this is not the first time, and I'm sure it wont be the last time. I think I'll attempt to get it back on the tracks in stages, like maybe a jazz vocal; Jacintha is a name I haven't heard much of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWO7PyDl7Ks&list=PLa4wcs3yJTlOoVevHKAH58Zs8SmeXIWQf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpgBgaR01Mk Enjoy the music. |
Sorry O - My fault. Didn't realize what would follow posting that Paul Butterfield link. [But please do allow one last word from me on the Blues. Acman - YES! Rory is great. I have a high regard for him. Check out the Irish Tour '74 documentary if you get the chance. Bullfrog Blues is in it. ] Done now, O. Won't let it happen again. ;-) |
O-10: I think you just have a weakness for exotic beauties from strange lands. The Jazz / music seems to be incidental. Now, we are back on the Jazz track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en6kmiX0SDc Cheers |
