A Yoko with talent! Who would have guessed?
Thanks for that.

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.

I can tell you liked that other Yoko's music about as well as I did; some things I just don't get, and that was one of them. This Yoko is sounding so good, I had to play her again. I hear real roots jazz, certainly not "stereotypical", plus she is most certainly new to me; therefore, I will have to put the Yoko Miwa Trio in the best new jazz I've heard recently, that must be added to my collection; she's genuinely fresh. Sonny Rollins and Don Cherry is a side of Don, that I've never heard before, but this was before he went into his "world music" phase. It's all good. |
The very best music is that which has withstood the test of time and repeats; no matter how many times you've heard it, it still sounds good. Such music in my collection that exists, I will share it with you; The Jazz Crusaders, "Young Rabbits" is such a cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA7f9HIXox4 Another one by the same crew is "Freedom Sound"; that reminds me, I don't have enough of this good music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Jb72PZAls Enjoy the music. |
