The only suggestion that I have is to keep doing what you’re doing; the way that you’re doing it. You are a true music lover and your attitude reflects that. Imo, to be open to all that any music has to offer any listener needs to approach listening with, at least, a modicum of humility. How much there is to understand and appreciate is practically endless and the process needs to be about the music more so than about ourselven. You mention that you approached your foray into jazz without the intention of building a library. I also notice that you gave XX (like) to, among others, Coltrane’s "Giant Steps" and "A Love Supreme". I suspect that library will grow no matter what.
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.

This is a new CD by Rich Perry, that rated over 4 stars, which is an excellent rating. The review says it's never to be played before midnight; I could use some more of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7naF8u2VUk&list=PLeMLh2SrfvbZhoWhqCIzU3PFT2mcY74zk Mood music suits everybody's groove when the time is right, you can never have too much. I wonder if Frogman knows Rich Perry? Enjoy the music. |
