Curious, have you ever even been to NY?
I spent ten years over NYC one night.
Cheers

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.

Guess the album title gives it away -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKnyCVmbyTA A good candidate frog? |
Unknown true really good Jazz albums are not so rare but not so common also... After Bill Charlap trios, and Eddie Higgins trios, all really, really good... A bit more creative is the Renee Rosnes Trios, so good, that i can found excuses for the silence around the 2 underestimated trios i just speak about, but this one is really out of the ordinary...No excuse for not recognizing it or speaking about it..... Great pianists all three.... But Renee is my first choice....She is the wife of Bill Charlap.... Too late guys! |
I like Torme a lot, Pryso. Nice clip. Next to Ella, my favorite scat singer. Come to think of it, probably the only two singers whose scatting I really like. https://youtu.be/z9VpCLyxLfU https://youtu.be/Ju5NztMnQxE https://youtu.be/4vZlyfa28iQ |
