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.

orpheus10 Glad you are back I asked about you several times. Wishing you well over this next period and hoping you get the best care as needed for your health. About Wynton Marsalis- I am not a big fan of his (he would probably not make my top 20 for trumpet players) but I was surprised about your statement that he could not compose? I believe he has a a body of written work which has been recognized by fans all over the world and I am a big fan of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra which he has headed for many years. |
Gonsalves' Interval: Since this was such an important moment for the Ellington Band, I just wondered if The Duke knew it was coming. Judging by the way the tune was introduced by Ellington, I suspect he did. I was not asking about the "nuts and bolts" of the solo itself. Although I do appreciate your detailed response. Cheers Man, that Frogman is smart! |
