acman3Nice Mitchell/Mays vids. Thanks.Mays seems to have flown under my radar as he has several dozen recordings under his own name and I only have one.
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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXv32tJzou4 pjwNice Garland. His sense of swing was impeccable. I have this trio album I like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv1OztY8bTM |
nsp I have listened to a few songs off of Red Garland's "All Kinds of Weather" album including the two you shared today. It is an excellent album no doubt (did Garland ever make a bad recording???) but one I never got around to buying. I have 4 Red Garland trio albums The PC Blues, Groovy, Red Garlands Piano, and Swingin' on the Corner - Live at Keystone Korner. The last one I just purchased and it is a great live 2 disc set with Leroy Vinegar replacing Garlands usual bandmate, Paul Chambers, on bass. The Red Garland's "All Morning Long" album is Garlands usual trio plus Coltrane and Byrd. I do not have that album, which is fantastic, on the Red Garland quintet album. I have it in its entirety on the John Coltrane "Side Steps" box set. All Morning Long features just 3 songs. The first song (also the album title) clocks in at 20:21 and the following songs are 10:28 and 6:18 respectively. https://www.allmusic.com/album/all-mornin-long-mw0000198802 |
Paul and Nsp,here is a Garlands album that you should listen to (if not), I posted it before, but never mind. It was session that was not repeated, which is pity, when yo hear the result. Frogman spoke about the reasons such things occure (or better, not) Red’s Good Groove, quintet, with Blue Mitchell and Pepper Adams, from 1962. https://youtu.be/41kWLRTmBjY https://youtu.be/7OmTMVDkts4 https://youtu.be/wp_w8IUq4G4 https://youtu.be/5LoqIc7ZjBg https://youtu.be/QbbIoJmvDwQ When I catch little more time, will share few words about that A.Cohen concert... |
