****I think Tyner was the glue that kept the latter Quartet from the abyss.****
Interesting comment. How so? Thanks.

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.

****"Now, close your eyes and imagine that she is a horn player?". Personally, I don't think it would hold up.***** I agree. Ella and Armstrong are the only ones I can recall off hand, that could play voice, and outplay the horn blowers while doing it. They scatted notes. Maybe scat could help the guys who always complain about not being able to play what's in their heads? Cheers |
I wanted to submit Hart's "For Cannonball and Woody". Which I played tonight. Found this and could not turn away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBSTUvLg6Y8 BTW, 'For Cannonball and Woody' is great also. He studied Classical Saxophone for Four Years. Seems to have survived it unscathed. Great Player. Cheers |
Soulful player. Hart can definitely play. He has also spent a lot of time listening to this; the best version ever: https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Af1gkPGbZTY&list=PL09w5s2Eb6V-_a6gcLR5ELdj-UKg4TPm7 BTW, I'm surprised you didn't object to the electric bass :-) |
