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.

Not clear at all, Rok; especially given some of your other comments. Anyway, this is, once again, a case of "Mars and Venus"; some things are irreconcilable. No one is trying to "impress". I nor Learsfool (I am confident in stating) need this forum to "impress"; actually practicing (no pun intended) what we preach is the best way to do that and we do it on a regular basis. What we try to do is offer well-intended insights into aspects of music and the music scene that are not readily available to everyone as a way for those open to the idea to expand their knowledge and appreciation. You seem intent on creating your own personal reality about what the music scene is and challenge whatever doesn't jibe with your reality. Anyway, no sweat. O-10 was correct in part with an earlier comment: Chaqun a son gout! Cheers |
No, I never heard of the "Carolina Chocolate Drops" until you mentioned them, but they make my kind of music. After going to "You tube" I got an obsession to go south and look for a "Country Girl". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVIaiADsyYo They were walking along a road with a tall metal container that had two handles in the foreground, and it took me awhile to figure out what it was, "a churn", that's what they made butter with. Have you ever had churned butter on hot biscuits? That's going back to a time when they didn't even have electricity where we went, Winona Mississippi. All I remember is a big lone house in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road; but that's the old south "dirt roads", they didn't know what concrete was. I find it amazing that the south has changed so much, that a lot of people are finding country living preferable to the city; I can understand that. Enjoy the music. |
