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 Listened to the 2 versions of H Steward cuts. Yes the second is faster and sounds better. But I think it's probably remastered. What say you? Looked up Serge Chaloff's bio. Gone way too soon. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=degZcUFL9SA Another bari player I like Hamiet Bluiett: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hpD8LFQwT7c |
Pryso, thanks for the Carla Bley! One of the great composers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbWb9cVXbuY |
Great clips all; thanks! nsp, nice Chaloff! Definitely someone I need to listen to more. Re the two H Steward clips: I wasn’t sure. I was tempted to think the one with better sound quality was the correct one, but it sounded too fast; rushed. The slower version is in the key of C and the faster one in the key of Db. Both are viable keys for the tenor saxophone, so that doesn’t help much. I think the answer can possibly be found here: Tubby Hayes playing the tune on flute in the key of C (likely to be the original key of the tune). So, the correct one is probably the slower version; inferior sound and all: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uK5TKEhYlQY More Tubby Hayes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WjNKsGaPxzE |
