Alex, thank you for those soundtracks.
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.

Who is Bett Harth? Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit, yelling for help,” Mahalia Jackson once remarked. And if anyone can relate to that remark, it’s Beth Hart.https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/for-beth-hart-is-better-the-second-time-around Beth at Kennedy Center https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fALdOkf_eCM She seems to be full of internal and external energy, like a woman that has something to say...But in a way her singing makes me nervous, I cannot place her anywhere (?) and I wonder why. Help me. |
Love Beth Hart, mary_jo. Thanks for posting that KC Honors clip. I posted that clip a while back and so glad to hear it again. I like your description of her. She has a lot to say; no doubt due to things she has had to deal with including years of drug addiction. She can be sexy as heck. That solo by Jeff Beck kills. Speaking of having a lot to say, a great example of saying so much with the fewest words (notes). |
I mispelled her name at the beginning. Not respectful thing to do. This forum waves with it’s non-editorial rule mercilessly. Cool it... Fro, I did not give up on her, it’s just hard for me to embrace her in full, can’t quite sure why. Incredible talent she has but I think I need more softness to be seen from her. Maybe she’s playing too tough for my taste. Although what yells from inside (in regards what she has gone trough) indicates something else...Anyway, thank you fro for your answer, I appreciate it. |
