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.

Age of Innocence 2 We have a family friend, funny and charming older fellow, father of two, grandfather of five, who yells when speaks. Ok, he does not yell, he just speak loudly but for some ears and in some moments, it may sound like yelling. When he comes to visit us, the whole neighborhood is clearly aware of that fact. He is aware of that as well so when he comes, he is not just visitin’, he is also performing. Once I asked him to tell me when he was happiest in love. He lowered his voice in a way that was not expected, looked distant, they way people look when they go thinking, way back in the past: "When I was young boy. When I was happy just to keep her hand in mine. You know, I wasn’t walking then, I was flying." Paul Desmond - A Taste Of Honey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6DbdY0aelA |
Mary-jo, if you thought your last post would bring me back just long enough to comment on it, you were right; that old man is me. I have no idea how Paul Desmond "A Taste Of Honey" has eluded me, but that will be corrected. Here's one for you; BTW, that girl on the cover of this LP looks almost exactly like my high school sweetheart, including the scarf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT5zGYaUN_Q Although I'm too involved in other things to be back, I wish everyone the best. |
