Pryso that makes you super cool, and you got good taste in music.
I don't have Pepper Adams plays Charles Mingus; that will have to be corrected.
Jimmy Knepper is tops in Mingus book.
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.

I guess I don’t pass muster in the “cool” department; tassel loafers I don’t have 😎 Still on the subject of baritone players, here’s a little known (outside of Europe) player from Sweden with a lovely lyrical sound and clearly inspired by the West Coast “school”: lhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLCWqyLAqOgKgrrZXpzOyjlyV0_L2dLBwx&v=xvdpVq86uYk https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLCWqyLAqOgKgrrZXpzOyjlyV0_L2dLBwx¶ms=OAFIAVgX&v=-571Uy... From the West Coast, known mostly as a clarinetist, but also a fine baritonist: Jimmy Giuffre https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=au8CklgN9Q8 Another little known (anymore) West Coast guy: Bob Gordon https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2gly8M-ps6U (with Clifford Brown) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kcdNss9Z5_4 |
Great clip! I first heard Sahib Shihab on this record from the great Phil Woods which features his very formidable composing/arranging skills: https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL55774CEA75D0E052&v=8_ILn8GDVts |
