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.

If you ever heard the phrase"walking the boogie " and wonder what it meant..................... https://youtu.be/MH6INzlGzaM?t=4 |
Maybe it’s the air, or maybe it’s the beer 😋, what I do know is that Woody Shaw’s playing on that clip is pure genius. The first couple of minutes of the clip are unbelievable with what he does with Body and Soul. Stole the show, IMO. Great clip. It has often been pointed out here that some band leaders bring out the best in a player. Check out this solo by Kenny Garret as member of Miles’ band just a short time after the date of that clip. With Shaw and Dizzy Putting aside any bias that anyone may have against Miles’ stage demeanor or about the style of the music, a textbook example of what is possible with just one chord change. Brilliant. The “groove master” indeed: https://youtu.be/1M75iYZ-_Jg |
