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.

Schubert it's good to talk to old friends; I'm glad to see you up and about. Acman has introduced me to the only new artists that I like, and although Mary J. heard this before, it might be new to you. Lisa Simone is new to me; while she's Nina Simone's daughter, she is her own person; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xbUx44mKpA&start_radio=1&list=RD5xbUx44mKpA&t=0 |
mary_ jo Your Pepper "You Go To My Head" would not play on my PC or Ipad so I have posted this version (not sure if it was your pick) that I have always liked. I remember reading Pepper's bio where he stated somewhere in the book that a great jazz musician had to have musical knowledge, technique ( ability to play the instrument of choice) and ability to convey emotion. He certainly had all 3, especially the emotional part. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9KKR66FiBLU |
