When you compare that music he played in 68, with this music, which most of the audience expected, maybe you can comprehend where I'm coming from.

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.

O-10, I get it; I know where you’re coming from. However, Jazz fans in 1968 that were expecting Miles to be playing music that sounded like that “Love For Sale” (great!) had not been paying attention to Miles’ music too closely. That “Love FS” was 1958. Ten years before. An eternity in Miles’ evolution as an artist. The music he was playing in 1964 live in Tokyo is precisely the connecting missing link in this argument. What he was doing in 1964 was as much a departure from what he was doing in 1958, as 1968 was different from 1964. The remarkable thing is that it is all a clear and audible evolution heard in the corresponding styles. Anyone following Miles’s career since his days with Bird would not have been terribly surprised that he was doing something so different; especially with the knowledge that the great Quintet of the 60s was a thing of the past. |
Cannonball "Worksong" Tokyo with all the frills "What message"? it's just music to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q88M5gwgGPI Cannonball "Worksong" for us; Aficionados on the street beat who comprehend the depth of the message; it's a lot more than just music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCqRYneOdIM |
