Here is a really nice album all the way through, but I'm sure you already have it; in case you don't, get it.

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.

Rok, that was a great clip from 'The Thomas Crown Affair', with McQueen and Dunaway. The remake, with Brosnan and R.Russo is not bad either, but 'happy end' spoils it. Maybe we should start a movie thread, or at least point to some works of art (paintings as well) who we consider to 'have soul', as it seems that we are constantly going back to that issue Any thoughts? My proposition, one of my favourite painters. He portraits loneliness, isolation, solitude and silence, all things that aching soul might express with jazz music too.

This goes back to a comment from 2013 about the original Broadway cast album of Ain't Misbehavin. I saw this cast in its Broadway run many many times. Pure joy. What you hear on this recording is only a fraction of what you heard on stage. Let alone seeing the wonderful staging and the visual performances themselves. It fact to me it is a real disappointment. But if you didn't see it it's a must have. |
