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.

Speaking of groceries, some soul food...(not Jazz) https://youtu.be/4DaaJ4EPYwI Little Milton, 'Grits aint groceries' https://youtu.be/JIT7tezL1nQ Harmonica George 'Get in the kitchen...' https://youtu.be/UknG7SlILxU The Bad Boys 'Black Olives' https://youtu.be/TQ05TOj4NYc Just Brothers 'Sliced Tomatos' https://youtu.be/66CgDUT7iP4 Booker T The Mg's 'Red beans and rice' https://youtu.be/vlvgfJr4P_8 Mongo Santamaria 'Green onions' As for the 'party', the best ones are kind of long gone... |
@alexatpos - That's a clever set list. Thanks. You might be right about the best parties being long gone. On the other hand, I tend to think our retrospective assessment of such things is often colored by the growing awareness of our own mortality. Regardless, better, best or just okay...lots of engaging, entertaining, celebratory, quality "jazz" being made TODAY; e.g., Aaron Parks Brad Mehldau Contemporary Noise (Quintet or Sextet) The Funk Ark Goran Kajfes Jaga Jazzist Jazz Pistols Medeski, Martin & Wood Meridian Arts Ensemble Snarky Puppy The New Mastersounds Only scratching the surface here. Of course, if you only wanna accept as Jazz stuff from a decade 50 years past, your options are somewhat more limited. |
