O-10:
Urbie Green: Too smooth. No bite. No dynamic range.
No perceived start, middle,or end.
One Frenchman's opinion. :)
Cheers

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.

Since I'm on Trombones, how about J. J. Johnson. Although you don't get the best music, these "You tubes" are almost as good as going to a live set because you get the best seat in the house. I'll leave it to you guys to submit the best music by J. J. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKAd2sogy9w Enjoy the music. |
O-10: Nice tune and playing on the Johnson clip. Never did get into trombone as a lead instrument. They always sounded muffled to my ear. That is, except when playing music from Nawlins, or in big bands. Not the best choice for Bop. I have 4 CDs by Johnson. I like them more for the personnel playing with him, than I do for his playing.None I have are worthy of submission. The one you send was great. Maybe because of the Fox on piano!! Cheers |
