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.

Here we are talking about lists, and The Jazz Queen is patiently waiting, all dressed up, with her dancing shoes on, and it’s Saturday night.It was still too early for her to go to the club, the night was still young. She made him a dinner. And a bit later there she was, all dressed up waiting for her lover to come. The lights were dimmed. She took a look at the table. His favorite food was there and already too chilled wine in an ice bucket. She smiled the way lovers do, with impatient glow in the eyes. The sound of Bill Evan’s piano was coming from another room while the curtains were swaying in a summer breeze coming from the half opened window. ~ Time already slipped away when she realized that it was quite dark outside but refused to worry, he said he would come, he was just a bit late. She changed the music, took of her shoes, decided to rest a bit on the couch until he comes but fell asleep. He never came... my funny valentine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj_r0-Nio38 my foolish heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raLlS7B3GiY but beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl6aEZ47AVs you’d be so nice to come home to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHHJ9KJWF4E |
Today’s Listen: Rachelle Ferrell -- FIRST INSTRUMENT I always thought her notorious (in some circles), version of ’Autumn Leaves’ was a one off thing, apparently not. Seems to fit in perfectly here. No notes. Blue Note Label. None of the usual criteria for judging Divas applies here. Love it or hate it, It is compelling. bye bye blackbirds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnpaisZYtjQ prayer dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flGmgBH761g inchworm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqytb-y5jIU with every breath I take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puV1In_XLf4 autumn leaves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xgNA3rCw7U Cheers I like her 'exchanges' with the band members. |
