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.

Trying to get off caffeine and need some help. What is it they say...that we tend to replace one habit with another? I need to hear this on a pretty regular basis; wakes me up every time: https://youtu.be/Ns02jzH8Ccw Too bad the clip is cut short; would have loved to have heard NHOP’s bass solo. |
Since the intended humor and sarcasm of my Woody Allen post escaped some and on the subject of great clarinet playing, my favorite Jazz clarinetist. For me, perhaps the only clarinetist that has sounded completely credible playing bebop and who also had a truly beautiful clarinet tone. As an aside, the exact same chord progression as the above “Oleo”. A chord progression used in many bebop tunes and referred to as “Rhythm changes” because it is a chord progression first heard in George Gershwin’s very popular tune “I’ve Got Rhythm”: https://youtu.be/a_VfDtZLxtI (Unfortunate that, once again, the entire tune is not available on the Tube.) https://youtu.be/aYU8H4A7YDM https://youtu.be/rs5F5nRciLo |
