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.

He portraits loneliness, isolation, solitude and silence, all things that aching soul might express with jazz music too.***** His painting certainly do. I don't think Jazz does. Loneliness and Isolation are the antithesis of Jazz. At least in my humble uninformed opinion. There, I saved The Frogman some energy. No? The music was by Carl Davis. He did the soundtrack of 'The World At War'. Great Composer. Cheers |
I like the premise, Alex. Beautiful collection of Pollak's works. I am also a fan. My wife, an amateur seamstress, has a reproduction of this on the wall of her crafts room: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_at_Sewing_Machine#/media/File%3AEdward_Hopper_-_Girl_at_a_Sewin... Interesting go that you should bring up film scores; the music accompanying the Hopper clip is from the film "The French Lieutenant's Woman". Beautiful music and, per your comments, made me think of this which I can easily see substituting for the Carl Davis score in your clip: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fb3Gdtu0LS0 Stunningly soulful: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_a_Woman_(Leonardo)#/media/File%3ALascapigliata.jpg |
