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.

Rok, it's funny that you should ask questions that have crossed my mind. I never cared for the song until I heard Lorez sing it; she adds a lot of sexy innuendo. Picture this "stone fox" looking out the window at knee deep snow, so she fly's south, where a two timin jaybird singed her wings, but she's ready to forgive and forget, plus do a little warbling that can make a lonely man happy; how she can sing. So the divine miss O is ready to give it another go. Never the less, "Baltimore Oriole" will not be on my favorite list of songs. The cover on "Deep Roots", which is my favorite album, is down right ugly, and that's not my favorite photograph of her on the other cover with Baltimore Oriole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHGQM6GDCFg I like this photograph much better where she sings "Angel Eyes" which is one of my favorite songs. She has the kind of seductive voice I could listen to all night long. It's good I posted this, I see she has some albums out that I don't have. |
