Speaking of Billy Root, I’ve got this Benny Green record with both Gene Ammons and Billy Root as sidemen, but I can’t tell Root from Ammons; maybe Frogman can help us?
Yo Frogman, can you help us?

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.

Sure. Nice cut with a great slow shuffle groove. Could tell immediately it was Gene Ammons playing the first tenor solo. Robust tone with that distinctive bit of nasal quality and unique way of articulating notes. Now, right back at you (all): Apropos the recent discussion of Classical music, what popular Classical piece does Jug quote at 3:07? Hint: by a Russian composer. |
Rok, I'm listening to Carmen, and I think you got the worst record she ever recorded. On the records I have, her voice is seductive, and she's beautiful; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SAq1Lg5Aak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qnyaZQELxk She's singing those songs for me when she was looking her best. I have no problem in doing all kinds of magical time shifts when I'm listening to Carmen. |
