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.

frog, thanks for your well-considered comments, as always. o10, are you, or anyone else, surprised that Yma's estate didn't sue Simon and Garfinkel for "stealing/copying" "El Condor Pasa"? Actually, the whole musical plagiarism thing escapes me. It has been such a long-standing tradition, and not only in jazz, to copy/lift/modify/be influenced by all or part of songs created or performed by others that I just don't see a case for it. |
Pryso, you have noticed it well, Child in time from Deep Purple borders with heavy metal. I haven't thought about this before since the song stays long enough in the range of the hard rock which is ok for me since I am not fan of the heavy metal. But you are quite 'an Ear', it seems that hardly anything can pass beyond your radars. Orpheus, I am glad you like Carlos Santana. This might be latino rock which is kind of 'soft' in the comparison to the mainly 'hard listing' of mine. I mostly picked rock with strong accent on the guitar and a bit aggressive vocal due to uncle's comment about the rock of being too noisy. But Santana definitely has a touch. You surely have a well cared style. Santana, Black magic woman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyQUCYl-ocs And Frogman, man, that was absolutely great post, I enjoyed very much reading. You know the stuff. Nothing to add nor subtract there. You have said it all. Shaping the world (music) exclusively according to one's own preferences and seeing it through one's eyes only, would be leastwise, boring not to say limited. How can you not to love this: Art Pepper, The Prisoner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5utT5yiQAOo This Erik Satie, Gnossienne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUAF3abGY2M This Mighty Sam McClain - When The Hurt Is Over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4YPMiFaPWo Or this at the same time Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bWzyiU-S_w Uuuuuu, uuuu..... |
