Notice a few folks wiping away tears. Soulful.

I thought Webster's said Soul music was only for black folks.

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've skipped on from the Jamal link but I really enjoyed that updated version. A couple of his albums were among those I bought when I first got into jazz. As usual, I have a little story. I never heard Jamal live. In college in the early '60s friends and I went to see him with great anticipation. Now after so many years I don't remember if there was an opening act, but I don't think so. Anyway, when Jamal came out and sat at the piano he only played a few notes then stopped. After some words with his trio partners he hit a few more notes. At that he got up and walked off the stage. No amount of clapping, whistling, or even booing could bring him out again. Finally whoever it was who'd announced the group came out again to say the show was cancelled. I can only guess the piano was out of tune, but wasn't there a sound check or warm up, even in those days, before the audience came in? Just a huge disappointment. |
Just folks enjoying making music. The thunder was not quite right. Each clap sounded the same. Nevertheless, brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9-poC5HGw Cheers |
Before the information age that we are living in now, when we didn't always know what the artists we were listening to looked like, I thought Buddy Collette was White, that's because his music always sounded white, and that went on for many years. His good friend Mingus even said Buddy's music sounded White, that confirmed there was nothing wrong with my ears. |
"Maiden Voyage"; this captures the spirit of adventure on this voyage to beautiful expectations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2WicKm0dc |
