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.

pjw, that live Sonny is incredible; hadn’t seen that. One of the few players who can pull off playing without a piano or other harmony instrument. More live Sonny: https://youtu.be/HP3eg6quOdE https://youtu.be/dKxd7LoKs2MHi |
One of my favorite records in my collection, pjw. The playing is outstanding. I have the mono version and the sound is fantastic in its sense of aliveness. One of my desert island recordings. https://youtu.be/_KHUcRFcK_4 https://youtu.be/xaO7TMJXo7c https://youtu.be/dXVgseaRJg4 |
Btw, “What Is This Thing Called Love” and “Woodyn’ You” are from the afternoon set with Donald Bailey and Pete LaRoca. “I Can’t Get Started” is from the evening set with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones. It should be noted that the first of acman3’s great clips of the new Coltrane release is a tribute to Rollins, “Like Sonny”. When all is said and done, probably the two greatest tenor players. |
