When I think of what I was listening to in "76" I am embarrassed.
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.

Billy Higgins was fabulous. Great band. Schubert, maybe I misunderstood. What is it about Ron Carter’s playing that you don’t like? Vocal version of Herbie’s tune “Eye Of The Hurricane” by someone that Schubert likes. Personally, I think there have been but a handful of singers who could scat for longer than one chorus before deserving the hook; if that long. Like most of even the best ones, this one doesn’t quite make the changes the way a great instrumentalist can, but man can he swing! https://youtu.be/RTF6lJIsYHY Billy Higgins on another of my desert island records: https://youtu.be/7wcYrx4d3Jg |
frogman , looking at my post I can see why you could think that . What I meant to say is Carter is so Great I can only listen to him .If there were a top 5 poll on your favorite Jazzman , Carter would be on mine . Only problem I have with Elling is he a singer of poetry or a poet who sings? Likely both ..IMO he is the most intelligent person singing, in the USA at least . Seen him twice live at Dakota , if there had not been 13 inches of snow in my driveway 2 weeks ago it would have been 3 times . I want him and Karon Allison to sing together , which might happen . |
