Rok, rather than make a long speech, I'll just say that I'm glad you found your way back home.

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.

My focus this morning is on "Yusef Lateef"; he played: Tenor saxophone, flute, oboe, bassoon, bamboo flute, shehnai, shofar, arghul, koto, piano, vocals. As you can see, he played a variety of instruments; born in 1920 and died 2013, he lived a long and very productive life; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAxdTSc_fts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ycYPKijiMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ycYPKijiMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ycYPKijiMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZSIbGgmD-w These are his cuts that have withstood repeated listens over the years by me. While the cuts I've chosen are exotic, he's all over the map; including classic jazz on tenor sax. Please comment on whether or not you like Yusef Lateef. |
Today’s Listen: John Coltrane -- EVOLUTION: THE ROAD TO GIANT STEPS 4=CD set. By Chrome Dreams. Very good packaging and booklet. I’m just posting the first tracks of each CD. One man’s take on Trane’s evolution. We all acknowledge his greatness, and then post and talk about someone else. Every now and again we need to hear the greatness. I listened to all 4 CDs nonstop. It’s that good. Several interviews on disc 4. The Journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkUvZUTFUc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yarpT9actVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT_Zs5FKDZE The Destination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30FTr6G53VU Of course, at Giant Steps, his brakes failed, and he was last seen / heard, entering the Orion Nebula.
