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.

nsp I think you will be satisfied with any James Carter album. I have all of them. Only thing is he has not put out a recording as a leader since 2011. I sat and conversed with him at the bar in Birdland after his first set but I did not want to put him on the spot and ask him why he has not been in the studio. He does appear as a sideman on 30 or so other albums including one by Wynton Marsalis but I think he has not been in the studio to do anything for quite a few years now. He does continue to tour and do jazz workshops globally. I was thinking of buying this suite written by Marsalis that features Carter. https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Fields-Wynton-Marsalis/dp/B0000029GF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KAHRCANZKAZQ&... |
