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.

pjwInformation on the art farmer "the time and the place  "is somewhat convoluted.I disregarded the comment made by the poster on the cut I posted. He Is probably getting his information from the Wikipedia link you posted which May be some what suspect. 
The disc you posted listed on discogs has a different piano player Albert Dailey , from the listing on my  album which is Cedar Walton. 
 I went to the all music link on your posting from Wikipedia and I think their information is better first of all Jimmy Heath did the Arrangements on the date.
All music lists the same session for my album as the Mosaic listing. All of the song times on mosaic disc are the same as the cuts on my double LP. But as all music list it my double LP has five additional cuts three live cuts and 2  Studio cuts of a later date.  I think these two Studio cuts have Cedar Walton as The Pianist not the live earlier cuts.   in any case I believe my double LP which was issued around 1982 has three additional live cuts and 2  Studio cuts which the mosaic reissue doesn't have.The Wikipedia info where they say that a studio album had added Applause to it  and was issued as a live album I don't believe. Wikipedia is not the best source

I know that wiki usually a suspect source but discogs listings are 100%. They catalog the songs, the personnel, the dates, ect. on every album listed with them. I have purchased at least 50 discs from them and never had a problem.

I checked discogs for the "added applause" reissues without "lost concert" in the title and could not find a double LP just singles.

All music says a double LP was released in 1982 yet discogs has no listing for this. Also there are 8 tracks on the "lost concert disc" and All music states the double LP has 5 additional tracks so they are saying the version without "lost concert in the title is the one you have plus 5 extra tracks to make 12.

Here is the "Time and Place" 7 tracks supposedly dubbed in applause:

1 The Time And The Place
Composed By – J. Heath*
2 The Shadow Of Your Smile
Composed By – J. Mandel*, P. F. Webster*
3 One For Juan
Composed By – J. Heath*
4 Nino’s Scene
Composed By – S. Mihanovich*
5 Short Cake
Composed By – J.J. Johnson
6 Make Someone Happy
Composed By – A. Green*, B. Comden*, J. Styne*
7 On The Trail (From "Grand Canyon Suite")
Composed By – F. Grofé*

Here is "Time and Place" -Lost Concert 8 tracks:

1 On The Trail Composed By – Ferde Grofe* 10:00

2 Band Announcement 0:46

3 Far Away Lands Composed By – Jimmy Heath 6:36

4 The Shadow Of Your Smile Composed By – J. Mandel*, P.F. Webster* 14:15

5 Dailey Bread Composed By – Albert Dailey 11:41

6 Blue Bossa Composed By – Kenny Dorham 7:40

7 Is That So? Composed By – Duke Pearson 8:40

8 The Time And The Place Composed By – Jimmy Heath 10:24

There are no song times listed on the 7 track version. You may have a rare album with the 7 track version plus 5 additional songs. Are the first 7 songs on your double LP the same as the 7 song version? 

If they are the same as the 8 song version then I’m confused. 

Another thing does your double LP list the venue where the "live" tracks were recorded? If so was it at The Museum Of Modern Art NY?

If not then I'm doubly confused
