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.

Today’s Listen: Art Blakey, Dr. John, Fathead Newman -- BLUESIANA TRIANGLE Windham Hill Jazz. Expect the unusual. Used to hear and sing some of these when I was a child. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7B7Yv61PAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhR5cX4tS5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7aINNmnlng Aren’t we all glad Blakey chose drums over singing.

Jumping in midstream here so if you've covered him already, my apologies. I'm talking about Gato Barbieri. The tools of most great jazz musicians have a distinct voice regardless of what instrument they play. When you hear Miles, Coltrane, Jamal, etc, there's no mistaking them for someone else. Their voice is immediately recognizable. The same can be said of Gato's tenor. It takes only a few notes to identify his tenor's unique sound. Very underrated tenor IMHO. Thoughts on Gato? J.Chip |
