It's not the note you play that is the wrong note, It's the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.

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 I have always dug Sonny Criss and have a number of titles of his. I will post something soon. Is he underrated/not well known in jazz world? I think he was one of best alto musicians of they period way back when. It's good to hear you can find new music in the time frame and style you like. It's always great to discover new titles and or artists. I went through a perios several years ago where I did not think I would find new jazz artists to appreciate but I did . And now that i am participating in this forum I have discovered more music with the help of everyone. My thanks to you for starting this forum. |
Frogman is gone, and I do not miss him; I am tired of responding to his needless, un-necessary controversy. Time, time and time again, he has twisted my posts into something I didn't say; is the man jealous of me specifically? Even with all his knowledge, that he flaunts like a threat (I'm going to leave this thread); "Please Mr. Frogman, don't leave us, we need your knowledge". For all of you who feel that way, make your personal plea to the Frogman. Mox Nix to me, because I don't understand technical jargon; it's like people who speak French to indicate they are highly educated. So much of my opinion of the Frogman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7URoogRj0 Git Down Charley Brown; Mox Nix; It don't make no difference. |
