Thank you .
When I saw the alto smile approvingly at the bass I thought I was in heaven .

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.

mary_jo, I hope you are reading this and still with us.pryso, just because I am in silenzio stampa mode that does not mean that I cannot, now and then check up on (by taking look at the thread) how you are guys doing. I really appreciate all of you. And thank you for your recommendation. I will make sure to watch it on the first occasion. |
Just plain beautiful human cheer up music . ac strikes again ! Let me see , Delta has new Airbus 350 -900 direct to Paris from Minneapolis .............. |
Thanks acman. I continue to be surprised by then number of "hot jazz" or "gypsy jazz" groups formed over the past 20 years or so. There was a long lull after Django's death but the Hot Club of France now seems to be well known and appreciated. My parents had an album by the HCoF so I knew their music at an early age. This was one of the first "revisions" I became aware of - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMxIwtGhahQ&list=PLa4T9NsDtq8zpxiUXwrtLbjirhwUqNXuC&index=7 |
