Some consider Lage a jazz guitarist. Agree or not?

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.

Interesting blending of classical and jazz, but not third stream. I heard this years ago live with Almeida and local bassist Bob Magnusson which I preferred to this version, but can’t find a link to a recording of that one. So - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkdBgKWnBY8 |

alex re: "The Kicker" and "Idle Moments" Yes the same personnel I was not aware of that although wiki (not the best source) states that "Idle Moments" was recorded in early November 1963 and "The Kicker" in late December 1963. Both albums are exceptional and, IMHO, should be in every jazz aficionado's collection. |
