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.

*****When I was in St. Louis University Hospital, a young man from E. St. Louis was moved into the room I was in who had been shot up by an AK-47***** He could have been treated by a Military Doctor. Army and Marine Corps Doctors are often assigned to inner city Hospitals to give them the experiences they will need when they deploy to war zones. Sad but true. Cheers |
Regarding constant and everlasting question here about which music has ’right’ to be considered ’beautiful’ or ’true jazz’, there is a book I would like to recommend.... ’What is beauty? Umberto Eco, among Italy’s and worlds finest and most important contemporary thinkers, explores the nature, the meaning, and the very history of the idea of beauty in Western culture. The profound and subtle text is lavishly illustrated with abundant examples of sublime painting and sculpture and lengthy quotations from writers and philosophers.’ I believe that there is connection between music and other forms of art in a way how we value things,or how we have come to certain ’standards’. Hope you all will find the time to take a look....here is download in pdf form, but there are other ways to do it, on the same page... https://archive.org/details/OnBeauty.AHistoryOfAWesternIdeaByUmbertoEco2004 https://ia800208.us.archive.org/26/items/OnBeauty.AHistoryOfAWesternIdeaByUmbertoEco2004/On%20Beauty... I can understand the annoyance of Frogman, since its his profession, after all, but I dont mind reading such expressions from Op or Rok, its a kind of ’custom’ way to say it the way they say it now here.... For me, as I have said before, its about the sound....too often the ’modern’ jazz, or its players, do not have that particular sound that I like.... But, on other hand, neither the some most prominent players of ’old’ times do not ’have’ it, for me, anyway... So...one album of Louis Armstrong that I like.....posted before... ’Louis and the good book’...from 1958. the only gospel alum he recorded https://youtu.be/bvEmq-cX0G4 |
orpheus10 Think positive, be strong. Remember we are in a battle our whole life, from the fight to take our first breath forward . My prayers go out to you. I will search out some Wynton music and post it when I have time. Summertime leaves less time at my computer as I enjoy the warmer weather. BTW - I always understand frogman when he speaks technically about music and I am not a professional musician, just an amateur. |
