Alan Broadbent is similar to Steve Kuhn in that he slips under the radar but is an extremely talented pianist/arranger/composer.

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.

Over the past hour I have been listening to bassist Avishai Cohen songs on You Tube WOW! Incredible bass playing and all around musicianship by the whole trio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ_tWKhwBbQ&list=PLoxhDWWBCgecfKLVfjH9wX5D2dXlMYOS-&index=3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JURBuEQA1sM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnuRTvbS9xE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B19J-Mgfz88 One of the best trio's out there is my conclusion! |
alexatpos thanks thanks for posting that Cohen concert. I have been listening to it enjoying the trio. From the first note I was drawn in to the music. The trio is very cohesive and plays as one. They are a very tight unit especially considering the drummer was a replacement that night. enjoy the show let us know what you think. |
pjwThat Stan Getz live Village Gate recording is definitely an excellent addition to his recordings of that time frame. As you know from his biography (which I am reading now) his popularity had Fallen in the late 50s. I actually was amazed to discover how many musician polls he came in first year after year. in 1961 he had not embraced the free jazz thing and it was prior to his Bossa Nova recordings. So I am curious to see if he attempted to stretch out more on this Live date. according according to one of the reviewers on Amazon Roy Hayne's drumming moves Getz to stretch out a bit more. Wondering if you had the same impression? |
