pjwThanks. The Kenny dorham Live 2 CD set is a must buy. I did see another listing which was cheaper but your link was remastered version. Based on several members reviews of the sound and my own experience with remastered Blue Notes versus original issue Blue Notes I'm going with the more expensive set. I also found a 2 Disc set of Monterose dates from the late 50s early 60s including the album The Message which is one of his best.
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.

schubertAnother Japanese artist who was a contemporary of masahiko togashi who had a very unique style on piano. These cuts are from an album he did with Paul motian in 2009 for Ecm. he also had a working group with Motian called Tethered Moon which recorded a number of excellent Trio CDs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_vKxcUYGxI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbCCA1jOC_0 |
frogman I pulled out several bley discs from the 60s and also listen to Keith Jarrett inside out disc which I own. Yes I do hear the Bley influence in Keith's playing but Paul had a much different rhythmic sense and was much better at free playing. 2 albums you might want to check out are Closer and Touching.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdf5mQdODjc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuK5n1ek8gc |
