Thanks mary_jo for the George Carlin I really enjoyed that.
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, There are a few You-tube clips that are on my regular goto play list. That one by Ahmad you posted is one of them. So is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfNIVdnz1FQ Cheers |
Schubert, I know exactly what you mean about that energy of a dead fly; that's the price we pay for living too long, I got it to. But you're doing better than you were, meaning it's apparent that you have improved in other ways. I have "mysteriously" improved since before cancer surgery when I was expecting to see the other side. Now after "chemotherapy", where even the doctor said; "Don't thank me, thank God", I'm still improving, so can you. Most of all, I want you to know that we share the same ideals; the ideals of FDR, JFK, and MLK, and I will never quit fighting for those ideals. BTW, they all liked jazz. You're getting better, and you will continue to get even better as time goes on because of your beliefs. |
It's for certain "Randy Weston" is one pianist I have not explored enough. The camels were very unruly on that "Caravan", but after they got going, it was one of the best Caravans; with a decidedly African character as a caravan crossing the mighty Sahara should have, plus, it had elements of mystery and intrigue. I give it 5 stars. C Jam Blues; a real swinger for the bassist on that one. He lived a long productive life, and as such, has a long discography that I will enjoy exploring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpenHlO_D_Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sda6b_0Kiak That music is as unique as the album cover. |
