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.

Gorgeous. I have never heard a non-native sing in Portuguese in such a convincing way. Amazing pitch. I have always loved Allyson’s singing and absence of affectation. Thanks for that! No comparison intended: https://youtu.be/1-g-mkBpnew |
frog , I erased that one after I thought you might think it was about YOUR boat ride . The one above now is specific for you and IMO is the best version of that great standard .Minnesotans don’t affect . For all she is playing the piano as well . P.S . If there was a 10 favorite Jazz great poll Toots would be on mine ! |
Beautiful! Thanks. Great choice of tenor player given that it’s on an album “...Remembering John Coltrane”. I have never heard a better solo by the great Bob Berg, one of the best Coltrane disciples. He died tragically in a car accident only months after that was recorded. More poetry: https://youtu.be/CrvWtdBOQW8 (wish they’d had a better piano) |
