Frogman, you come through every now and then; I suppose that made up for past short comings.
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.

Gene Ammons changed to more serious music in his last years, like a person with a different outlook; I'm glad I have this music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-g_UKAU4Vs |
This "quarrel"...Fro, it’s like in the family. You do not choose them, "they chooses" you and even when they annoy you, you still stick with them. If we were in Italy (Sicily), we could call it "cosa nostra" (our thing). : )) Speaking of Sicily... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwHFbo76ll0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVne9WvVP40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnk6uzloXs |
Rok, I need help in perusing these "Mosaic Box Sets". I know you have a lot of Mingus, and so do I; but here again, as in the case of Monk, tunes with the same title are very much different, plus those sets might contain live recordings that were made in Europe. http://www.mosaicrecords.com/outofprint.asp http://www.mosaicrecords.com/lastchance.asp There is a lot to go through, but you can get music that's not available on the regular market. |
