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.

Speaking of 'cool' sound, hidden sessions, great music and sad stories, this album has it all. Tony Fruscella and Brew Moore Quintet 'Unissued Atlantic Session' http://youtu.be/-hqFJjQNpQE?list=PLiducaShgtxlmEuy4warTNK6ekP_VzyRK http://youtu.be/bPRDzlEENy0?list=PLiducaShgtxlmEuy4warTNK6ekP_VzyRK |
First time that I have heard this pianist play was on this album of C.Haden, together with C.Baker. His name is Enrico Pieranunzi, and here is the title song from their album 'Silence' http://youtu.be/fXZR4zxMDeA For ones who think that he might be worth further exploring, here is his album from 2012, together with the new rythm section of Gary Burton http://youtu.be/FY2MwD9S_JM Since posting is slow here on Audiogon, I will use the opportunity and post one more clip, with similar atmosphere. It is great music, but not jazz, please forgive me in advance. http://youtu.be/IUAF3abGY2M http://youtu.be/QXFgHYk5NMc |
****In the case of East Coast, West Coast, don't get locked down to geographical area; while Lennie Tristano's studio was in New York, the music was strictly "West Coast".**** Precisely why I prefer to (and did) refer to the style as "cool school" not West Coast; really interchangeable. Alexatpos, Brew Moore. Nice! Very soulful player out of the Lester Young school. Love his tone. |
Frogman, Brew Moore has a very nice tone, but I like the trumpet sound of Tony Fruscella as well, in fact he was the reason I searched for that album. Like so many others, he never made it, his personal problems were probably too overwhelming. By the way, I am reading old posts here, and yours are really educative. |
