"The Morning of The Carnival" is one of my all time favorite songs. I had big desires and once had plans to do that "Carnival thang", but they didn't work out.
That is a very nice relaxed cut of this tune.

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.

At this stage in my life, you would have to pay me to go to a live performance. In my time we went to night clubs as opposed to auditoriums. You would have to pay me double for going to an auditorium. I spent 20 years getting my rig to please me; my listening chair is the best seat in the house, and I don't intend to leave it. |
From my imaginary thread called 'The Good Stuff'. I have it on a PentaTone SACD. Loud, if you please!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Vpb9mRsOM Cheers The good stuff is always appropriate. |
Rok, when I retold that Coltrane story, this is the first time I mentioned the 63 Buick LaSabre. It was a convertible, powder blue with a white top. That didn't mean much in the Winter, but never the less, it was a sharp car. I bet you don't remember what a 63 LaSabre looked like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=189Jja2Mikw I really liked cars in them days; didn't you? |
