It seems that those headphones were made for the demanding "Audiophile" listener; they sent you the wrong headphones.
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.

Today's Listen: Ellington and Coltrane -- DUKE ELLINGTON & JOHN COLTRANE An unusual pairing. Both men showed up with their own bass player and drummer. They divided the work. Not too sure how that worked out. Another Van Gelder recording. The Notes: (There is always an interesting nugget to be had in most notes) "In actual fact Duke Ellington was put into the Jazz world to separate the men from the boys. His grasp of harmony and instrumental voicing is more advanced than anybody else in the entire range of Jazz, and the reason why many modern fans are unable to accept him is not that they are too modern for Duke, but that Duke is too modern for them."----Benny Green "I'd really like to get into all Duke's songs, I have a feeling there's a lot to find out in his music" -- Coltrane I'm sure The Duke grabbed his scores and ran. :) Ellington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmkpJD8Ew9c Ellington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6HltqebkT8 Coltrane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyDZQs8jNmM Strayhorn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au4sopMai2s Cheers Of course the main question for SOME aficionados will be "whose album is it?" Well, the Duke is listed on top, all the songs save one, were by The Duke or Strayhorn, but, I have it filed under 'C' for Coltrane. The Frogman and The OP can sort it out while they stand in line for their "mega yachts" |
