A most important influence to all "jazz guitarists" who came later:

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.

pjw81563, no not this concert, though it was the same tour. The recording you referred to is only about one third of that concert in San-Francisco. It was an excellent performance but not the best. Here, found it. Part 2. Germany, 1981. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5uAdifa648&t=2005s |
*****A most important influence to all "jazz guitarists" who came later:***** Any influence this guy had, came from America. Most likely in the form of Lt. Jimmy Reese Europe, and his Hell-Fighter Band during World War l. They introduced Europe to Jazz. New York National Guard I believe. Harlem in particular. Cheers |
Concerning the posts upthread of the International and American tribal songs with vocal chants, my favorite was orpheus10's posting of this Nordic piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kprl0CECykA It has that powerful and forceful nature to it as if she crying out from some pain or yearning in the center of her soul to the spirits of her ancestors. Ennio Morricone, my all time favorite composer and arranger of film scores uses chanting in many of his most famous pieces such as these 3 from "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" being performed by the The Danish National Symphony Orchestra. the piece flows from the main theme (opening of movie) into the closest to the end when Tuco is racing around the cemetary searching for the grave full of gold. 1; buono, il brutto, il cattivo (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) Main 2: L'estasi dell'oro (The Ecstasy of Gold) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkM71JPHfjk And here is the last piece, performed by Morricone's orchestra for the original motion picture soundtrack complete with the scene. It's title is Morricone perfection: "The Trio" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awskKWzjlhk |
