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.

frogman I just compared those two clips of B Evans you posted , one from the Chet Baker tune Alone Together. Wow how close can you get? It appears that little intro he did for the Baker song was something he went back to later to further develop. How did you come up with that find? If Evans DID write Blue In Green he should have gotten credit. If both Miles and Bill participated in the composing they both should have gotten credit. I highly doubt Miles wrote it completely by himself. |
schubert Wow finding any new jazz vinyl for 7 bucks would be great but Ella singing Duke's music is a real find. Your story made me nostalgic for the days when I could go shopping for vinyl at several stores and find real gems for $3.99 to $7.99 per lp. Those days are long gone but I built a large lp collection so I am happy. Here's something from Kenny Werner : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMB4YmHdD60 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U5924vY8kY |
