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.

frogman I always I always wondered if the tune "Like Sonny" was a reference to Sonny Rollins. This is my favorite version from Coltranes the Atlantic years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcmLcSz3iYg |
pjw I know from reading about John Coltrane that he was a spiritual man. It is very obvious in his playing which seems to come from a higher power.I have It reversed regarding Coltrane and Rollins. This is not a ranking of their talents but at this point in my life I much prefer Sonny Rollins over Coltrane but greatly admire both.The cuts posted by acman 3 were all good especially the contribution of McCoy Tyner . But it seem like I recognize these songs from previous albums. Was there anything new on this latest Coltrane release? |
alex enjoyed the Eddie Higgins cuts you posted and also the albums of Richard Evans and Billy Taylor. The last two cuts of the Richard Evans posting would not open so I have reposted them for you. Also enjoyed Chuck Wayne very mellow guitarist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyJHq6MfQM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z60uF4RNZ4E |
