Looking at the guys they thought Shaw was too .

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.

Today's Listen: McCoy Tyner -- ILLUMINATIONS Trane has finally left the house. On Telarc and SACD !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKAUwnHYiUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLua245sIP8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MzN8tPS5xw Cheers |
"Trane finally left the house"; it's about time, I was beginning to wonder if the boy could play regular piano. That album is definitely worthy of my purchase; the only artist on that album I'm not familiar with is "Lewis Nash", and he's holding his own. The rest of the gang is performing like the professionals they are; they speak when spoken to, and they always say the right thing, without saying too much or too little. Gary Bartz really shines on "If I Should Lose You"; so does the bass man, Christian McBride. The leader realizes he doesn't have to play every note on the piano, twice; that was unexpected to hear. This is the McCoy Tyner I must hear more of. |
