Man does not live by BBQ and corn bread alone. Nothing like a nice candlelight dinner sometimes.
Says it all.
You forgot the catfish.

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.

This album, arranged by
Mark Alton Masters who also plays the trumpet was just released 2 weeks ago. Its a nonet. The entire session is already on You Tube and I listened to every song the other night and just ordered it for my collection. Really good. Wiki: Mark Alton Masters (born November 13, 1957) is an American jazz trumpeter, composer, and arranger. According to biographer Michael G. Nastos, Masters "has emerged as one of the great jazz arrangers of the 20th and 21st century. Masters studied at Riverside City College and California State University, Los Angeles. He made his first recordings as a leader in 1984. Masters is president of the board of directors of the American Jazz Institute, "a non-profit organization dedicated to the enrichment and enhancement of the appreciation of jazz music" in Pasadena, California. Here is the album called "Night Talk"https://www.amazon.com/Night-Talk-Alec-Wilder-Songbook/dp/B087SFGBNG/ref=tmm_acd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Entire Album You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QybbybCBsJk&list=OLAK5uy_l6QioULwGxnsXwSQ42bgDCOdjOZNNr-y8 And to think I had never heard his name before.... |
Talking about Jazz vocalist's my favorite was, and still is Sarah Vaughn. Here is one from my collection that is hard to find now at a reasonable price (unless its been re - issued). Its live and one of my favorite recordings: Sassy Sings The Tivoli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VuvAyys4NY&list=OLAK5uy_keGk6CsmJL-fk4A0oPXt38o8MCcWrgpoU |
