That's a good argument, pryso. :--))
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.

o10, this is what I think of for "cheesecake", those dancers just didn't do it - http://www.thepinupfiles.com/vargas1.html Now for West Coast jazz, here is one of the classics - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm-jwUixCaQ Interesting that Baker remained "cool" while Mulligan could join in with East Coast hard boppers and keep up just fine. |

Some of the best West Coast on this soundtrack for the Susan Hayward movie "I want To Live" one of my first jazz purchases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVhURQDFJoc |
Pjw, I saw the movie when it came out, and that is one of the best examples of West Coast jazz. Maybe I can find something to compete with that. As I stated before, the best examples were movie sound tracks. Since the black and white movies were forgettable, I may not have any luck finding the soundtracks. |
