"Goto Guru" sounds more modern.
Actually I'm just testing my ears.

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: Betty Carter and Ray Bryant -- MEET BETTY CARTER AND RAY BRYANT I think the first Jazz LP I ever purchased was Ray Bryant's "Slow Freight". Carter did "Baby It's Cold Outside" with Ray Charles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDv2eEmMRpE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSyyDMbVIcg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGteXTYVW-U Jerome Richardson on flute.

This is my favorite version of "Moonlight in Vermont"; that includes the album cover. To be honest, I don't know whether it's the music, or the memory attached to the music; whatever, I get a warm feeling whenever I hear this, but it's not vocal. Betty Carter is too jazzy, this is a romantic tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRNpc-hFkCs This is my favorite "Frenesi" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1I4FMbQCgQ "The Way You Look Tonight" is Betty Carter at her best; she and Jerome Richardson knock it out of the park. |
