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.

Sometimes it’s the quiet types that a man needs to be careful with and sometimes it’s the quiet types that are bes.......I should stop.  Fantasy on.  😊

I like when they are more "wild", not too much but just about enough, but that's just my own preference.

:--) I know what you mean. If I may say something. :--) Those are exceptions. Exceptions are possible. Mostly, if she is too quiet, she is too quiet. She might go to flame once a while because of restraining herself to long but in general, she is quiet type. You’ll know when you meet the other type, what opposite of quiet looks like.

Love Janis. Like Nina....usually. Janis, as raw as can be; but I don’t hear so much anger......love it, always have.

My wife likes Southern Rock (I do too) and has been listening to this singer. I kinda like her (like my wife, too 😍):

BTW, Phil Woods “Sail Away”.....as NY as it gets. So much for silly labels.

**** exceptions ****

Not really my experience.

I don’t think we need to look far 😊

Now I understand better the difference between New York- ish and Mississippi-ish.

The Queen get's it, as do all true Jazz Aficionados.

Cheers
