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.

Maybe I’m just new and don’t no anything but I don’t feel like you all give enough love to musician like Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Milt “Bags” Jackson. They were able to make decades of great music, not only on there own but together in many cases. I the album A Very Tall Band was a great display of how they continued to keep music fresh and remain at the top of there game. They also did some classics with Clark Terry and Joe Pass Cheers |
We have been at this for over 5 years. Those guys have been posted and discussed many times. Including ’Very Tall Band". This is the last one I posted. The video has been taken down, but this audio only version is still on you-tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abUBJlLHBOI Cheers |
@rok2id I figured that’s why I preferences by saying I’m new and don’t know anything... Lol! I’m big Oscar Peterson, Bags and Ray Brown fan. Sad day for me when Mr. Ray Brown passed away last year. I went to concert shortly after to see his protege Christian McBride pay homage to Ray Brown by playing 2hrs of all his classics. It was a phenomenal show and emotional night for the band. Cheers |
It looks like posts here are often 'missing in action' and not just if are regarded as ones with political stand, but also if they are beer invitations? Acman, anyway, thanks for that, how about a shot as well? https://youtu.be/f4SYEfdm90g Orpheus, I dont mind you writing about the stuff that are laying on your chest, I guess everyone could write something of a sort. Can we do something to change things for better, as individuals, I am not sure... 'Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way'.... |
