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.

Rok, a peace offering. Live a little, will ya 😊. (Only thing that could have made this better is if the accompanist had been playing on Schubert’s favorite piano) https://youtu.be/QgZ_-f7pVk4 |
"Music soothes the savage beast"; music also soothes me 24 hours a day; my computer "play list" is piping out music in my bedroom even when I'm sleep. This morning I awoke to Mr. Dave Brubeck, "Calcutta Blues", from his album "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia" which was inspired by his tour of 14 countries, including Turkey, Iran, Iraq, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan in 1958. Track listing "Nomad" (Dave Brubeck, Iola Brubeck) – 7:23 "Brandenburg Gate" – 6:55 "The Golden Horn" – 5:02 "Thank You (Dziekuje)" – 3:35 "Marble Arch" – 6:59 "Calcutta Blues" – 9:53 Personnel Dave Brubeck – piano Paul Desmond – alto saxophone Joe Benjamin – double bass Joe Morello – drums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7IECI9tkuE I'm sure you have it, each cut is special; I highly recommend this album. |
Rok, if you believe the accuracy and "reality" of the unemployment numbers, you believe in "tooth fairies", and Santa. (forgot, I believe in Santa) https://qz.com/877432/the-us-unemployment-rate-measure-is-deceptive-and-doesnt-need-to-be/ |
