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.

Got this a few days ago, finally. Not Jazz, but kin folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVxm7g8xbE4 Cheers |
rok., Re-Jussi Bjorling, for a great Opera singer he had little training and could sing any type of song. I think I would have because he has such heart and humanity in his voice . Impossible to be sure because you can’t do an experiment . I saw a long interview of Pavarotti on BBC .Most of it was about what he thought about this tenor and that and how they were compared to him. He was quite serious but his natural affability was still there . Toward the end the presenter asked him about Bjorling . He got real serious and said , " Don’t compare me to Bjorling, I ’m only human" . He meant it . I’m not a snob , but my opinion , and that of others , is the more refined your taste is , the more you appreciate Bjorling ..50 years of listening to Bach daily would refine a trash cans taste . I had a parlor trick I used sometimes when someone come over to listen .I would put on Pavarotti singing his wheel house aria , " Nessun Dorma " from Puccini's "Turandot ".which floors people who hate music .Then I would put it on with Bjorling as I said ," that was how you sing it loud , this is how you sing it good "3 out of 4 got it . |
