Hit the jackpot the very first try; Julius Watkins, and Gunther Schuller; horn. This is on Miles "Porgy and Bess".
I don't have anything with Julius Watkins as leader, but I have him on every jazz album that wants a horn.
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.

BTW, I have music from the computer in the basement coming to the bedroom, so if I don't know who's playing, I have to get out of bed and go check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrWs0lSZvBQ This impressed me enough to get up to verify my suspicions. Wardell Gray ballads are harder to find than Wardell "Be-Bop" Lucky Thompson was also sounding good, but can't find it on the tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkKneiZNNXs Oh yes, "Elanor Rigby" by Chick Corea qualifies as "new music" for me because it sounds good, and it's different from everybody else's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxfi0g_5CiM&list=RDbxfi0g_5CiM&start_radio=1&t=10 My world, my definitions. |
This is a modern composer who can dance on the Jazz side or the Classical side at the same time with beauty and grace for both . https://youtu.be/QXNbLi88Iw8?t=2 rok, Phil means "lover of" in Greek and was often given that name when rich folks were the major money men back in the day . Symphony just means a band with all the instruments needed to play one . Today terms are used because big cities often have more than one major ensemble . Symphony 2 doesn't sound all that well . |
