Rok, honestly, never thought that there will come the day when I would say that you are the voice of the reason.
I have always been the voice of reason. You just couldn't hear me at your stage.

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.

Bach and Jazz: I rather enjoy this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri85RVGWtcY&list=PL452AD126B9D448A6 This too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhU7euFPWwo |
Me too. Good stuff, thanks. Some interesting reading on the subject: https://newyorkjazzworkshop.com/were-beethoven-bach-and-mozart-jazz-musicians/ https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/bohp/22/ https://www.wrti.org/post/surprising-influence-js-bach-jazz-great-bill-evans |
Bach & Jazz: The Good Lord continues to test me. The Blues on Bach thing is nice music. So is the Swingle Singers. I even have a CD of both groups together. It's nice music because it's played by consummate professionals. I'm sure MJQ can play Bach. I know they can play Jazz. They just can't play both at the same time, within the same tune. And if MJQ couldn't pull it off, no one can. They even dress the part. I must have misplaced my copy of Schubert (the real Schubert) At The Blue Note. Perhaps, Vivaldi at Newport. Hog Calling Blues for String Quartet? This is the closest anyone has ever come, and wiki says it's 'Orchestral Jazz'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynEOo28lsbc wiki --- " Rhapsody in Blue is a 1924 musical composition by the American composer George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band, which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. " Nice try. No Cigar. Cheers |
