Next thing I know you'll be posting "The Hard Bop Grandpop".
Just noticed I have a lot of Non-Blue Note Silver. It seems to be pretty good also.
Cheers

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, since my philosophy is to "accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative", we shall forget about the 27th man and focus on "Cape Verdean Blues" Horace Silver - piano Woody Shaw - trumpet Joe Henderson - tenor sax J.J. Johnson - trombone on tracks 4 - 6 Bob Cranshaw - bass Roger Humphries - drums "The Cape Verdean Blues" - 4:59 "The African Queen" - 9:36 "Pretty Eyes" - 7:30 "Nutville" - 7:15 "Bonita" - 8:37 "Mo' Joe" (Joe Henderson) - 5:46 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4Z9NxK94H4&list=OLAK5uy_l2uUlNbYyQPGoFklS9889nBQv1_cS2IKQ With Joe Henderson on tenor and J. J. Johnson on trombone, this has to be boss. |
The African Queen: Excellent. Silver even played a little piano. Blue Note and the artist they recorded were a National treasure. Those were the days. Thank God we have the recordings. 27th Man: I like it. Very nice playing and tunes. It was not typical Silver. It was just different. Things can be good and different. After all, I bought it. Hard Bop Grandpop also. :) Like you, I like all things Silver. Cheers Btw, 'Bonita' is the name of a very small town in Louisiana I always drove through on my way home from Texas to Mississippi. |
