One of my favorite versions.
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.

acman that is great artistry I am sure not all will agree but I do and here are some of my "artistic" favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uj8IIzbrv8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zuEfmmCA5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEfS98F89Ho |
In college in the early '60s the on campus film series included "Jazz On A Summer's Day". This was one of my favorite numbers from the film. It was so different from anything else I'd heard up to that time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCVg1UOADO8&list=RDOCVg1UOADO8&start_radio=1 Aside from the music I loved much of the photography. That captured the abstract feeling of the music with images such as these water reflections which fit perfectly. Later I wondered if the film crew had been influenced by Disney's "Fantasia", or if it was more spontaneous? I've never read any discussion of that aspect. |
