Beautiful, Alex. May I ask where that is?
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.

Frogman, its in the Adriatic Sea, some thirty miles off shore, near the island of Vis. If you would continue in direction south, you would end up in Italy, near the town of Pescara. The photos are facing west (some 200 miles of sea in front) and if you would continue that way, you would also end up in Italy, somewhere around Venice. The photos are taken with simple phone camera, no photoshop or any effects added, in a space of couple hours, roughly from the same spot, as we were drifting in the boat, hoping that tuna fish will bait |
Maybe it's because I have to take so many painkillers that I drift in and out of time; presently here's where I am; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uJL8er_tV0 This is a most appropriate tune; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANNqr-vcx0 Good music never leaves me, no matter the genre; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guKoNCQFAFk Now back to the subject at hand; Lee Morgan "New-Ma"; Pepper Adams sets his baritone on fire on this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omc5iNix0W0 This is the first album to feature his own compositions, and the first without any compositions by Benny Golson. This Lee's best album in my opinion because it goes so deep into the music we call jazz; it also indicates there would have been no end to how deep Lee could go "A Night in Tunisia" (Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli) – 9:24 "Heavy Dipper" (Lee Morgan) – 7:05 "Just One of Those Things" (Cole Porter) – 7:18 "Lover Man" (Jimmy Davis, Roger Ramirez, Jimmy Sherman) – 6:50 "New-Ma" (Morgan) – 8:14 "Just One of Those Things Personnel Lee Morgan – trumpet Pepper Adams – baritone saxophone Bobby Timmons – piano Paul Chambers – bass Philly Joe Jones – drums These are not only some of the best jazz artists, but they jam so well together; this is the epitome of jazz. |
