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.

We stood before it and began to freeze inside from the exertion. We questioned the painting, berated it, made love to it, prayed to it: We called it mother, called it whore and slut, called it our beloved, called it Abraxas...." The album cover features the 1961 painting Annunciation by German-French painter Mati Klarwein. According to the artist, it was one of the first paintings he did after relocating to New York City. Carlos Santana reportedly noticed it in a magazine and asked that it be on the cover of the band’s upcoming album. The cover is now considered a classic of rock album covers. If you ever stare at that white dove that’s situated at the apex part of the shapely black woman’s anatomy, you will be drawn into "Abraxas"; I have the album before me, and I can tell you this album cover is a revelation; I’m not quite sure of what, it’s different every time I stare at the album cover. If you have the LP, pull it out, stare at the white dove and let your eyes wander from there. Now on to the music; since this album has consistently appeared in catalogs since it came out in 1970, that’s a testament to it’s staying power and popularity. From beginning to end, this is music that does not fit in anyone’s pigeon hole; "rock" they say, but I don’t like rock. Since it’s got to go somewhere, just leave it at rock. We begin with "Singing winds, Crying Beasts"; from the opening notes, you know this album is going to be something spectacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn50ipwWarg |
