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.

Most of the jazz vocal cd’s I have use woman on the vocals: Billy Holiday Sarah Vaughn Nina Simone Ella Fitzgerald Julie London Anita O’Day Astrud gilberto And the ones still singing: Diana Krall Jacintha Eliane Elias Cassandra Wilson Dianne Reeves Esperanza Spalding Lady Kim Here are 2 from Lady Kim (Kim Zombik) I choose because most of you probably never heard of her. She does all of her studio work in Japan with Japanese bands backing her. I have 3 sacd’s of hers that were recorded in Japan and the sound is beautiful to put it lightly. Kim posted under the first video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJER2tY7C-Y And another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HD0d7C3CVY Here is one of the Lady Kim sacd’s I have (the price tag is wac now!) https://www.amazon.com/Autumn-Leaves-Lady-Kim/dp/B000EGD0C0/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1... Just something about a good female jazz vocalist sends me to heaven! |
pjw Thanks for the Getz link. Esperanza Spalding - New to me I checked her out she can really swing. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TQtXo4tiZxs Love her intro statement " Jazz is America's classical music". I just wish that jazz received the respect and support in America that classical music receives in Europe. |
