I am a big movie collector myself and some of the greatest releases are black and white.Alex, this is your subject too.
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.

Speaking of female jazz vocalist's. I do not think Anita o'Day gets enough recognition here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHCaxVCXNIc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-mg9pGqo6Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjLYoTR8cDE |

Apparently I have been grossly misunderstood; is it my fault or yours. Let us examine the sentence where the trolley jumped the tracks. "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." The black and white movies were "B" movies and I don't recall a single one of them, but the soundtracks were fantastic. Now how pryso interpreted that as "all" black and white movies are forgettable, I don't know? Never the less, moving right along. My all time favorite movie happens to be "black and white"; "The Third Man". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9yyDEDGlr0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2ZWcwy12lk BTW pryso, I was trying to illustrate the black leotards that were quite the fashion statement at that time for ladies who had the required figure, and the link stated "cheese cake". |
