This one is for our OP, O-10. One of the first tunes by Gato that I heard way back when. Great feel in the rhythm section:

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.

Fantastic Bolero story. I used to wonder those things myself. I always wondered what would happen if he dropped a stick. On one of the Bolero performances at The Proms, a cloth on the drum head is seen slowing sliding off the drum head. What was that? Whatever it was, he was powerless to do anything. Thanks for the answer Frogman. I always thought I could tell because of what I perceived to be a drop in volume and / or a slowing of tempo, just prior to the vocals coming in. Informative answer. Thanks Cheers |
Questions to The Frogman: What makes this Jazz? Or even more to the point, what makes this music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk9NaHsobew Cheers |
That’s a good observation and accurate. It is part of the “set up” for the entrance of the soloist, whether it be vocal or instrumental. What does our resident Grant Green-phile think of this? https://youtu.be/2yZXafHQiIA |
