That posting was so appropriate, you would have thought I read it a long time ago before I posted on Trane live.
Enjoy the music.
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.

Should these tunes have gotten the glory instead?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAfYg8haw1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEHUAMW5JD4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_87wul09cuA Cheers |
O-10 'Gris Gris' has been in my Amazon cart forever. I will order it now. It's supposed to be one of his best. This guy never makes a clunker. Marie Laveau is my favorite. I have it on this CD. Along with several other gems, such as the Monkey! Truth spoken here!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWUb5AR7W8M Cheers |
Today's Surprise!! World Saxophone Quartet -- DANCES AND BALLARDS Amazing!! I could not believe how much I enjoyed this. Every track a winner. This is supposed to be Avant-Garde / Free Jazz. This is the best example of that genre I have ever heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ60abjwCPQ WSQ, another group I have 'Grown into'. Purchased several albums / CDs by WSQ based on positive reviews in "Stereo Review". They, SR, never steered me wrong. Sooner or Later, they were always proved right!! Cheers |
