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.

pjw, privilege would be mine. As of boxing, hate to disappoint you but as a typical female, I fear for each candidate of being severely injured. That’s the part in which I do not quite enjoy. In what I enjoy is the way of fight - what tactic each of the boxers shows, are they able to adapt the challenge, did they estimate the opponent well, can they wake up and return to the match after they’ve been declared dead and other, similar stuff. Girlish, I know. Baj d vej, that last link of yours, the lyrics which capture brutally (it matches well with boxing) the picture of the relationship among couple, that’s almost blues, meaning that was good. |
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen: Absolutely Beautiful. Very heavy Middle Eastern vibe. The Middle East is where the Lord was born lived and died. So that's really the way it should sound. But, we have been conditioned otherwise. Carols are English/German/European. And so are the titles of the songs. 'Merry Gentlemen' in the Middle East? The OP would say that's Incredulous. But the music grabs you and won't let you go. Very Nice Cheers We Three Kings? |
Today's Listen: Gene Harris Trio -- THE GENE HARRIS TRIO PLUS ONE the 'one' is Stanley Turrentine From the Notes: --Gene's debut recording for Concord. This apparently is a 'reemergence' of Harris. After The Three Sounds disbanded in 1973, Harris settled in Idaho. He directed music at the Idanha Hotel. Stanley did make a recording with the Three Sounds back in 1960.--- The 'I' word seems to apply here, but I will restrain myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GhJgFzz7j4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DyO6T_rNZk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj6IvVtkNaY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCAhXIqS-80 Cheers |
