Have we appreciated Sheila Jordon? There's a story worth telling;

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.

Miss Jordan is trespassing. That song belongs to John Coltrane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWG2dsXV5HI One exception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwT93ARAVlE&list=OLAK5uy_mrqGh0j15Q5awB8FNaicSJNcVdUnrUJy4&index=11&t=0s Cheers |
Rok, you are a full fledged "jazz aficionado"; the music you selected made that determination. There is the "young Sheila"; the "middle aged Sheila", and there is the "old Sheila"; you selected the one we now like the most. Did you hear those dynamite musicians she had with her? I know you did, I just wanted to let you know that I heard them too. I have this CD "Portrait of Sheila", that I like a lot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-34UkHqd3B4&list=PL0q2VleZJVEmZ4zvGNH1l74rupONXEokX&index=2 She can make everything she sings sound special, that's because she's a very special artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhRRg_IYPjc&list=PL0q2VleZJVEmZ4zvGNH1l74rupONXEokX&index=4 |
