My favorite rhythm section. Miles’ ‘60s rhythm section with the great Freddie Hubbard. I love everything about this record:

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.

Those are good ones fro, from others too, off course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYNsYz-nOsI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1024bA4iU5w Following your recent conversation, about the differences between guitar types, I want to paste here the link of this classical guitarist, Sharon Isbin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N77zyOXfIU If you google a bit about Isbin, you will probably bump into her documentary (she is very well covered on YT) where she encounter short meeting with her friend who gives her an electric guitar to play. They both laugh in the process where Isbin also explains that she spends all her time playing classical guitar only and considers she still doesn't have enough time to explore all the great possibilities that classical guitar offers. That off course, leaves no room for the practice on the electric guitar where she admits she is not good there at all (!) By the way, Isbin is founding director of the guitar department at Juilliard, a multiple grammy winning classical guitarist, etc., etc.... |
mary jo, Thank you so much for introducing me to Isbin I was just about to post one of my favorites of Francy Boland and your post caught me off guard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNPGa-JVv-I The second and third movements are just as good, IMHO |
