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.

Won’t interest anyone else , but I wish the Japanese were not so dam good all the time , they make the rest of us look bad . https://youtu.be/04oeDHFQVPk?t=2 Adios para siempre ! |
Thanks O10, thanks fro. Adios para siempre.Schubert, as Rok once said: you all take this too serious. Imagine husband and wife living together for 40 years. Do you really think (I am sure you do not) that they managed through the years without saying once a while really "bad" things to each other? But that does not mean that they do not like each other. We all have are daily worries that twist our behaviour on daily basis. You accept it and move on. You are not less of a man if you show it. I am not going to judge you based on one post. I might be (if!) annoyed but will surely not judge you. Also, if we do not react always on your posts that does not mean that we did not see it nor that we do not like it. Peace with you man. p.s. If you were thinking on something else but not on leaving, never mind, you can still read this if needed. ;-) |
jrosemd, I like your list. Those three are among my overall favorites as well. Now, being Sunday, here is a follow up. For me, along with a walk in the woods or by the seashore, music can bring me closest to finding spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXijK-JlULg&list=RDcXijK-JlULg&start_radio=1 |
