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.

pjw, it’s always nice to read you. I hope you are doing fine. If I may say so, I am quite picky concerning "free jazz" and listen only specific pieces in that style. When it comes to jazz, prefer being "limited". :--) Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) - At Montreux (1980) - Whoza Mtwana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMcKrMXzjhg |
Today, a guest made me cry. Either I was really moved or were those days in month. However, actual clients at work we refer as guests, because once they come to enjoy their boat, we treat them as our guests. Anyway, he is very kind person, a journalist, a biologist and musician. He plays sax, guitar and piano (!), so he sent me his music recorded on YT. It is very nice music and it would have been nicer if he hasn’t, many years ago, became ill and ended his career.

Today’s Listen: Rene Marie -- VOICE OF MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY with / Kevin Bales(piano), Rodney Jordan(bass), Quentin Baxter(drums) Notes: "This is my love song to America; a pastiche of rhythms, melodies, dialects and commentary that reflect one American’s experience of growing up in this country. Like Albert Camus, I, too, "should like to be able to love my country and still love justice."- Rene I first became aware of Rene when she appeared on Wynton’s Christmas CD / DVD. Love at first sight / listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joSjP3usatY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLzNJcDZ6J0 we used to sing this at the start of classes in elementary school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlmYKhVhk2s made famous by Antonio Machin, an Afro-Cuban well know for singing the ’Son’ form. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMFyXN9f9WM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqALXvi2C-Q Cheers Nice piano work. |
