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 agree with the sentiment of your review of the Camille Thurman recording, Rok; even if I would describe what I hear differently. I donât feel there is anything wrong with Thurmanâs place in the recording. For me, the reason she doesnât sound up front is that her playing is not commanding. Very talented, but she sounds like an immature player to me. Uses too many cliches with even a nod to Michael Breckerâs funk sound in one spot đ±. I find her scatsinging to be more compelling than her playing. Â She can scat like only a horn player can and actually makes all the harmonic changes of a tune and doesnât simply âgeneralizeâ them like most singers do. Still, she sounds kinda like Ella, just not as good; doesnât have her own sound yet. There are many young tenor players out there who are far more interesting and compelling. Can they also sing? Nope. Thereâs the charm. The amazing power of DNA! and carrying on the musical blood line: https://youtu.be/-SQNVQHCNcg |
@frogman Finally received this a few days ago. This is my favorite Sonata so far. But, I will have to listen many times. Great recording. Maybe the best recorded violin I have heard on CD. Wow, she is quick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ed01ywc_B0 The Faust / Melnikov is no longer available. Cheers Thurman: You always know how to say things moâ better. |
