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

Thank God!:--) 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 😍): https://youtu.be/9lLaBPHtGYc https://youtu.be/ZrSK-0-MQ8s https://youtu.be/88LNk-_Tfr8 BTW, Phil Woods “Sail Away”.....as NY as it gets. So much for silly labels. **** exceptions **** Not really my experience. **** You’ll know when you meet the other type, what opposite of quiet looks like.**** I don’t think we need to look far 😊 |
The voice is absolutely great but the emotion...where is the feeling? showing feelings is considered bad form in some circles, like her targeted audience for instance.. Mary Jo, if you will notice, she did raise her voice a little on 'Save your love for me', that's considered raw emotion among the Jazz elites of NYC. Cheers |
