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.

Today's Listen: Carmen McRae -- CARMEN SINGS MONK with / Al Foster(drums), George Mraz(bass), Clifford Jordan(Sax), Eric Gunnison(piano), Charlie Rouse(tenor sax), Larry Willis(piano) Notes, explaining why different titles are listed on the CD. "The reason for these title changes is simply insistence by the music publishers, since the instrumental versions have become part of a separate Monk literature." Outstanding support from the instrument players. Most of the Lyrics by Jon Hendricks. straight, no chaser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnjFkuxwpFY ruby, my dear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFE6GiMcL7g well you needn't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paYODQGwdz4 blue monk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3qK3mpaSPE rhythm-a-ning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLszKax6L-U Has anyone else ever tried to 'sing' Monk?
