Just to laugh on your joke would be too simple...
By the way, I like the music.

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.

**** Two Jazz Divas, and Nancy Wilson walk in a bar.**** That’s pretty good. In Jazz, that’s called “influence”. Can’t escape it 😊. About two weeks or so ago I posted: ”Two musicians and a drummer walk into a bar” Great Sarah. One of my favorites of hers. Those Mercury’s are awesome. Her voice changed quite a bit as she got older, getting huskier and her diction less precise over the years. Amazing singer. Going back 12 years. Leaner voice, more precise diction. Not a bad thing. Another favorite of mine. Ernie Wilkins arrangements. Cannonball killing on alto. Not too often we get to hear Cannon leading a section: https://youtu.be/aKAR2n5Pd_Q https://youtu.be/0hmg-uPsbgQ https://youtu.be/Fra23n_wHMA https://youtu.be/WW6b6vVdodc |
Just to set the record straight, I love Nancy Wilson, and the way and type of songs she sings. Just messing around with all the joke stuff. I was debating whether to order Sarah in the land of Hi-Fi this morning. I thought I had her with Clifford Brown, but apparently I don't. That's another one I want. Beautiful clips. Cheers The diva joke? I was just 'quoting'. Time honored practice in Jazz. |
Sarah -- I've mentioned before that when I got into jazz in HS I joined the Columbia Record Club, so most of my selections were jazz. That's how I got initial copies of Kind of Blue, Time Out, and What Is There To Say. But I had to include at least one vocal and this is the album I picked -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-91ZKvNiiJc So you could say she and I go way back. ;^) |
