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.

Yes, I have, pjw. Incredible collection. Speaking of obsolete saxophones and Jazz: Genius at work on the saxello and the stritch (oh yeah, and the tenor...how ordinary ☺️) https://youtu.be/ZIqLJmlQQNM https://youtu.be/e52m1OA5KRk Speaking of Spain (Moors) and Jazz, check out the piano player on the second clip above. Talk about swinging. One of my favorite piano players and probably the most under appreciated (here) truly great piano player. Hailing from Spain, the great Tete Montoliu. I love this guy’s sense of swing: https://youtu.be/9TU8cKM0bWk https://youtu.be/sy4BA78CApk https://youtu.be/w-I95qSYpmM |
Roland Kirk: Great clips. You have to admire this man on so many levels, his talent, overcoming blindness, and most of all, having the balls to walk out on stage with 5 or 6 horns hanging around his neck. And, it's not a gimmick, he plays them all at a professional level. Tete: Great clips. Not familiar with this player, but he can play. He is blind also. I always judge players to a large degree by who they have played with. He has played with some of the greatest. He plays Jazz. No prefix needed. Cheers |
