This is jazz at it's very deepest level; this is music that expresses love and longing beyond comprehension; this is love to kill for, this is love to die for;

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.

I am a jazz Thoroughbred, you keep your stinkin words out of my music; case in point "Moanin"; no words can do justice to being completely overwhelmed by bad luck and bad birth; born under a bad sign, and can't do nothing about it, but "Moan". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNjRQo-zpKA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKOoxgI_xfQ |
"Along Came Betty"; she was beautiful, flirtatious with a jazzy walk, and as much as I liked the sight of her coming towards me, the sway of her hips walking away was a gas. There was only one "Betty", and every man in town knew who she was. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=along+came+betty |
This song tells a short story in just 3 minutes; there's that smokey haunting flute in the background that spells instant magnetic attraction and seduction. "Your eyes smile that strange invitation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyp1yvSBq5I |
Occasionally someone will come up with appropriate words for a tune like for this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbaGDDbpcQ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP6mX_HtgGI Moments that can be repeated forever until the end of time. |
