Frogman, I'm positive that you would have said it was Monk in a blind test, but that can never be proven, because it can never happen, and in a hypothetical case you are never wrong.
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.

I'm listening to Diane Schuur; "The Man I Love". I have never heard this song sung before with such depth and sincerity. She's not singing a song, she's sharing with us her deepest emotions, and what she would do if she met "The Man She Loved". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d80CT75ovqg She became a drug addict; what I call a "legitimate drug addict", that's someone who has reasons, or a need to "escape reality". When reality becomes so overbearing that an individuals mind is about to explode, there is a reason to either escape it or go insane; that is when a psychiatrist would prescribe something as effective as heroin to relieve his patients suffering. |
Diane Schuur: Very good singer, however, all her albums suffer from the same thing, non-Jazz cover art / photo. It does not draw you in the way the Blue Note / Impulse covers do. Nice clip. Cheers Btw, there is no such thing as a 'legtimate' drug addict, in the sense that you meant it. Drugs mean death, destruction, depravity and degradation. Drugs solve NO problems. There is no up side. Look at the inner cities. Cheers |
