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.

Here's an LP that I had not played in a long time; it's a lot more interesting than I remember, maybe I didn't listen hard enough the first time.

Charles Lloyd - tenor saxophone, flute, alto flute
Gábor Szabó (tracks 1, 3 & 4), Tom Trujillo (tracks 2, 5 & 6) guitar
Roger McGuinn - 12 string guitar (tracks 1 & 5)
Wolfgang Melz - bass (tracks 1-5)
Roberto Miranda - bass (tracks 2 & 5)
Woodrow Theus II - drums, percussion (tracks 1-5)
Mayuto Correa - percussion (tracks 1, 3 & 4)
Mike Love - vocals (tracks 1 & 6)
Al Jardine, Billy Hinsche, Carl Wilson, Pamela Polland - vocals (track 1)



Gabor Szabo adds some interesting twists to any record he's on. This record had a sound that was unique to the 70's.

o10, if this helps you find it, my CD of Satch and Duke is a double album, as was done with many CD reissues.  It includes "The Great Summit" and "The Master Takes", both recorded over two day's sessions.  Mine is a Roulette Jazz label and remastered in 24-bit/96 kHz.  I hadn't played it in years and forgot how good it is.

I couldn’t agree with inna more .
I firmly believe ,as someone who has seen a LOT of docs, that as a GENERAL proposition women are better docs for the reasons stated .
It’s a simple fact that in general women are better listeners than men and the clue to a good diagnose often comes out of the patient’s mouth .
More to discover
