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.

From the little I know this is the best 12 bar base album around . https://youtu.be/I777BcgQL9o?t=3 Happy New Year All ! . https://youtu.be/ONQHoQAFwe8?list=RDONQHoQAFwe8 I take it back . |
"Bean Bags" is another good album with Coleman Hawkins; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhgUUe5czxc My favorites by Oscar Pettiford; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EwGijmqKc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6u8j1jnJso Another version of "Stolen Moments" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP6mX_HtgGI |
The very best jazz is that which was never recorded; it was the live jazz at local jazz clubs in cities all across this country. I feel very fortunate to have been on the scene at that time. Wes Montgomery "Echoes of Indiana Avenue" captures that live feel in those small intimate clubs. There was something so real, live, and spontaneous about it, that you wished the experience would never end when you were there. This album captures that experience; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueePTbFoTdY&list=OLAK5uy_lx8c6OQZ7U8quPwiO5fY-ycPLzqWfKzdc&i... |
Those are great clips O-10. Dear guys, I hope you had nice New Year welcome and that you have gained at least + 2kg, looking even more beautiful than before. I know that I do. In one of my old posts, I have longed for longer holidays but I think this would be it. I do not know how weather is there at your place, but no snow here and it is unusually warm. We enjoy in the sun during the day and how things are rolling, in few years we might even start growing bananas... Oscar again but another one... https://youtu.be/tCrrZ1NnCuM Akira (that’s Alex), I watched that Tarkovsky clip. Enjoyed a lot and was, have to admit, disappointed that I was understood in a way you understood me in my postings. My point was not that I thought that a movie should have been made in a way a viewer wanted or in a way just to "please" the viewer. Absolutely not, because that would be in the contradiction of what I have previously said - make your own work, be original. And when I said that all was about selling the magic, I obviously did not mean about selling the movie in a way one makes a commercial movie, just to please the viewer. If a director sells a story good, that means that he or she managed to get to the viewer in various ways. When getting to the viewer, I guess that is the point where communication begins and the condition of art fulfilles. Happy New Year to all. <3 I am retreating now to the safe distance and from the public...a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do. :))) |
