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.

o10, you linked to their Carnegie Hall performance, and no doubt this has been offered before, but it is a wonderful collection of Cuban artists, caught while they were still with us thankfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5cELP06Mik&list=PLetv3SCC-r3bPinnDE7jWxKPJc-mpEalB When I first heard this some of the melodies were familiar but I didn't know about any of the performers Ry found. |
I'm presenting this because I read a book that never existed. I read a book in the 80's that was hundreds of years old; the title was "Diary of a Slave Trader". It was the kind of book that once you began reading it, you had to keep on reading until the end. The book was very detailed and explicit; it gave graphic accounts of the ugly events involving capturing and transporting slaves across the jungle and across the ocean. Recently I looked for that book, and there is no record that said book ever existed. It had the names of the African Kings who ordered the slaves. They were the people the slave trader worked for. The Africans who are descendants of those kings are very wealthy and had enough money to erase that book out of existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoeCcwc5-l4 The rhythms we are discussing came from those slaves. |
