The first one sounded like St. Louis, the second one sounded like Harlem, and the last one sounded like "Narleans". What kind of prize do I win?
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.

"I find mixing jazz with African rhythms is as sound as mixing peanut butter and jelly; they just go together." Then may I suggest you purchase the new (Afro Cuban) Poncho Sanchez album. It was released just 2 .months ago and is his first album after a 7 year layoff. https://www.amazon.com/Tranes-Delight-Poncho-Sanchez/dp/B07VFPMJ9X/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UT...= A few tunes off the album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYOORQKXyzQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB6Sk0WglQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNwRKFJi8XU |
Tight modern Latvian Big Band If your into fun try Riga . I'm not so I go to Germany ,(joke). https://youtu.be/7BEgZLC05Vk |
If you really want to go to the African bush, you travel with Art Blakey. He even opens up with an African prayer, plus that he's got a real chief jammin with him by the name of "Chief Bey". This jam is as African as elephant horns, now you know that's authentic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahBlJTNd8Xk&list=PLyHn3f7-9IUKa7Q8_Ja8H-WyX0brISR-U |
