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.

///pryso/// "Baby It's Cold Outside" is being banned by several radio stations from their holiday music lists because of the "won't take no for an answer" theme and what that implies. *** I have just google it, there are so many links on this theme. It's funny. Media is facing the lack of important subjects so it has to deliver the meaningless news? If this happens during summer time, we call it "the pickle season". : ) However, it's interesting way to promote a song. |
I would say it a little differently. There are plenty of important subjects to bring to the public in a constructive way; especially right now. The media often CHOOSES the unimportant ones, because the media is no longer as concerned with conscience of purpose and objectivity. Seems appropriate to post it again; my favorite version of the tune: https://youtu.be/xepnRbEK0lk What I really wanted to post was, coincidentally, this by the great Ray Charles. There is great time and then there is GREAT TIME. Ray Charles was one of those performers who could to dig so deeply into the rhythm that it takes on an extremely commanding feel. Louis Armstrong had that same quality. Check out Ray’s “stop time” singing @ 1:51. Kills me every time. Nice tenor by David “Fathead” Newman. https://youtu.be/v_tcBVXnCU4 |
