Jackie Mac is another artist that I don't have as much of as I would like to have. Jackie Mac plays an interesting solo on this 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.

Orpheus10, I have both of those Donald Byrd albums with Duke Pearson on piano. Like you I also have none of his sessions as a leader and plan on fixing that. Big fan of Jackie Mac here. I have around 15 discs with him as a leader and to many more to count with him as a sideman like on the Mingus song you posted. BTW, J.R. Monterose, the tenor sax on "Pithecanthropus Erectus" is outstanding as well. |
I am afraid I will blush, after reading last few pages. Orpheus and Nsp, thanks for the interest, but I must say that I do not feel that my collection is really that special. Ok, maybe I dag out some more unknown guys, but in general you guys got it all covered as well. Orpheus, I am glad that you are back, since you was absent, I felt that my taste is even more archaic than it is....maybe you like my posts because the music suits your better than some other here, but sometimes I am kind of worry that I am stuck in one time period more than I should,ha....tell Rok to join again too, the more the merrier... Nsp, just to answer to you, I am not very much inclined to all present internet technology (I do not even own the smartphone) do not care about pc audio, streamers, etc. So, majority of music I obtained old fashioned way, anywhere I would travel, I would spend time searching for record shops and browsing the new and used stuff I could find. Of course, in recent years, the records shops are becoming the things of the past, so I switch to the ytube, like everybody, I guess, but I've got the big help via all music jazz encyclopedia https://www.amazon.com/All-Music-Guide-Jazz-Definitive/dp/B019NENNSY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1BEAR4MPSSJXY&keywords=all+music+guide+to+jazz&qid=1566426031&s=books&sprefix=all+music+%2Caps%2C409&sr=1-4 Mostly during winter nights, I read it and when somebody's life or music story seems interesting I try to find and hear some of his music and than order it via amazon. By the way, I am 46 years old, but I will admit only 30 and something if somebody asks....what about you, guys? Curtis Fuller 'South american cookin' from 1961. it suits warm summer nights... https://youtu.be/nHPMncP1tyw https://youtu.be/gXlmzg2G1Wo https://youtu.be/KSj8b8s7vpE https://youtu.be/nBc1HgwhssY |
Welcome back alex, 56 here. This Freddie Hubbard album, "Minor Mishap"(released in 1989), featuring Duke Pearson on piano was originally released as a Duke Pearson album titled "Dedication!" released in 1961 on the Prestige label. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHPenlTH7UY |
