This music has so many ironies; McCoy Tyner is playing with Ravi Coltrane, the son of John and Alice, and his music has finally come out from under the shadow of John; this is the inner McCoy Tyner.

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.

Pjw, here is what I've discovered so far about "Afrobeat"; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newen_Afrobeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBymUam1yxw Each musician is committed and dedicated to the sound they make, which is why I'll be following them. |
Maybe 0-10 , but I think you Airman are more romantic than us boots on the ground grunts . Still think the "crazy"lady had the best voice of the bunch . rok, I ’m not a fan of the old blowhard but I think I will buy into this statement in a book I’m reading . "If I had Canadian soldiers , American technology and British officers I could rule the world ! " . Winston Churchill |
Today’s Listen: Wynton Marsalis -- MR JELLY LORD - STANDARD TIME VOL. SIX Wynton in his element. So, all you would be trumpet players may now pack’em up and store them in the attic. Notes: Of this, his latest effort, Wynton Marsalis says, "I wanted to once again reiterate the contemporary power of even the earliest Jazz. Jelly Roll Morton’s music proves that all Jazz is modern. His music captures the full range of New Orleans life. Jelly Roll Morton’s music however, still applies to the New Orleans of today. It is dated neither in form nor feeling." --- Stanley Crouch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-ZqgzGeKIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ1vF2-7CsY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68hgDS5dM2w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmBHMTsy2BY The last word in every track’s title is either, Blues, Bump or Stump. :) Lawd, Lawd Mr. Jelly!!!! Best when played LOUD!!! Cheers |
