The GREAT Dianne Reeves had some fab backup that March day in the little city east of Munich and just north of Salzburg.
Don't get any better than this folks !
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.

schubert I have also I have also been listening to Eddie Daniels this week. Will post some Daniels music next week.That WDR recording with Paquito D'Rivera is on my to buy list already.Hilario Duran really impressed me. Gary Burton made a recording many years ago titled" libertango". Here he is playing live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkSQV5tk4Pg |
This is the only Archie Shepp session I have so that 5 disc set will fill some gaps in his repertoire. Album cover is whack but I have a few tequila bottles that look like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MjoR4Rq9s0 The following All Music review sums up The Magic Of Ju Ju. Its very challenging music. Definitely Not for "standard lovers" And rhythmically hypnotic would be an understatement for the opening 18 minute long track. https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-magic-of-ju-ju-mw0000744563 |
