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.

I'll merely toss this into the ring for discussion, then stand back. Likely that posters here will argue over whether these is an actual resurgence or not. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/whats-behind-the-new-jazz-resurgence-703853/ |
*****“I feel like there are more reasons to be excited about improvised music today than at any time during my 41 years on the planet,” the jazz critic Nate Chinen tells Rolling Stone. ***** Interesting that he used the term 'improvised Music', and not 'Jazz' Future historians will get it right. They will know the start and end date of Jazz. We are too close at this time in history. Too close to see the demarcation lines clearly.. Cheers |
This is to correct my mistake on Bobby Timmons; This song projects someone who is too tired to walk, but for whatever reason he has to keep going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMVmHUgzEs |
