No need for melodrama. Nothing is destroyed. Time changes, music stays. Who wants to dig out good stuff such as good old jazz and bring it out to the open, will do it and enjoy it. Who doesn’t, will die in blissful ignorance. Everybody happy.
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.

Real Chamber Music. Don't want to cause a 'ruckus', so I am not saying Meyers / Bach is as good as Sissoko and Segal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbsXFxvmiOc But I think any fair minded person would say Meyers / Bach is pretty good. Cheers |
What a bunch of self-serving nonsense. First, accusations about destroying Classical music while using as an example music that not only isn’t “Classical” music at all, but doesn’t pretend to be nor was, as far as I can tell, posted as such....right. I guess that since a cello is used and it’s referred to as “chamber music” then it must be “Classical”. Can’t we do better than this? And then, of course, and once again, followed by condemnation of ALL new jazz. As my wife likes to say, “Jeez Louise!” Anyway, was listening to this this morning. Kills me every time. I just love this guy’s sound and attitude: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RhB5PO2gc-U&index=4&t=0s&list=PLE1SK0O9FkE6WskguWMTWEFvrz0... |
