Ghosthouse, that is the most unusual grouping I've ever seen.
I thought "Music From Our Soul" was quite interesting.

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.

Nice clip, ghosthouse. Well, that fly got out from behind the screen 😉. Thanks for the introduction. Chestnut is one of my very favorite young lions on the piano. First time I heard him was live when he was part of Betty Carter’s trio and have liked his playing since. Mike Clark’s name caught my eye on the album cover. Another favorite whose name for some reason I haven’t seen too often since his HC “Headhunters” days. Great funk drummer and great to hear him play straight ahead. Another young lion whose career I have not followed is Stanley Jordan. Both he and Clark play on “So What” which follows “Mood Indigo” on your link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWWnl4aLjDw&list=PLIprspV8mpL6SmXiRZruchPUD6WlYbrnV&index=4 1974! And, if anyone doubts the huge impact Herbie Hancock has had on the music of the past 50 (!) years. Mike Clark is a bada&s: https://youtu.be/m0c38Wtdvz0 |
