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.

Wycliffe Gordon “Dreams” !!! Great vibe all around. Loved it. Great clarinet player on the date. This is one to get. If not too much trouble I would like to know on which of the posted tracks Wycliffe plays trumpet on instead of trombone. Searched for actual per track personnel info and couldn’t find it. |
“Final Comedown”. Interesting factoid: first soundtrack album released by Bluenote Records. Makes me wish I could grow an Afro (I hope that doesn’t upset any censors out there). So 70’s! Hey Mary_Jo, apology for my earlier indiscretion; all in good fun. I have a feeling you can handle it. I have to ask: DJ PP? |
