Schubert, that's my favorite version of "Round Midnight".
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.

Schubert, do you have a big Thanksgiving planned? This is the first Thanksgiving since God knows when, that the celebration will not be at our home. That's an incredible amount of work, and I'm not up to it this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNw8f02wuTo |
Today’s Listen: Randy Weston -- PORTRAITS OF DUKE ELLINGTON part of a trilogy called ’Protraits’. Ellington, Monk, Self. Best when heard loud thru Polks. Not sure what all that is at the start of ’Caravan’. Getting the camels up in the morning? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiLrbOgweSo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8nlgeJh5Gc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Ku9LJXrOY Good notes and booklet. Talks about the Duke being very religious, and how he wrote music not only for the different instruments, but for the particular players that played those instruments. Cheers |
What ever it was rok, that rendition of that great standard was superb as were the next two. I have to put in another player at Randy’s level as tribute before I take my afternoon senior collapse . This guy is only a year or two younger than me and I can do squat , Life is not fair! https://youtu.be/SiARr9JhLEo?t=7 |
