"the smile in the sound"
I so like the expression.

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.

A very long discussion on vocalists funny I was listening to Astrud Gilberto last night. And she was asked by Stan Getz to stand in and sing while the band was waiting for the "professional vocalist" who was arriving a day or 2 later for the recording session. Well you know how that ended up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DudoQ_yx0yo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMX6E68qJAg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5QfXjsoNe4 |
nsp. It's not a matter of like or dislike . Anything you see/hear with Bennett is a divine gift that is done one way, with respect and love of what he is doing and whoever he is doing it with , He is a transcendent human being,a gift to us all.I thank God that I was blessed to live at the same time he has . |
mary jo. As you know most women love a bad boy . I hope somebody looked at the high school band at the Barcelona Jazz Festival I posted . Joel Frahm is a power-house saxophonist who was their soloist He said that high school band was the best ensemble he ever played with , he can’t watch the film anymore as the the two young vocalists make him cry . If you do, watch his face in the background , its that of a loving father! |
