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.

You are so funny Rok; Ha, Ha, Ha.***** Glad to bring a little laughter into your day. ***** if you want a "Mega Yacht" you'll have to wait in line***** A hedge fund manager works hard all week to make a billion, then he has to stand in a line to get his mega yacht. What's this country coming to??? Where is the outrage???? The Frogman and his friends, ain't got no time to be standing in no line for their mega yachts!! Cheers |
Rok, here's some boss music that just popped up on my play list; it's "Nardis" by Patricia Barber. The music is good, but it's the recording quality that's spectacular. I assume you have it, if not get it; it's so well recorded that the sonics draws you in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi3i-HqDNFI |
