Inna, where have you been, Tahiti?
That was good whatever it was.
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.

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. |
Hey frogman thanks for the Artie Shaw documentary link. Watching it now. Inna that Gary Moore is fantastic. Great player. The Messiah Will Come Again was written by one of my favorite Guitar players - Roy Buchanan (always used the Telecaster) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deeBQZ8Aklc Mary_jo You know how I feel about Jeff Beck. Other then Jimi Hendrix he is the most creative and diverse to ever strap on a guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5OT7f5hetM |
rok, thanks for that O'Day with OP. They worked well together. I've posted her two numbers from Newport '58 a couple of times. I never could find another performance by her I liked so well, for me it was mesmerizing. Just forget about the (daytime) audience. And mary_jo, thank you for the Beck clip. I understand if he may not be played much in a jazz listing, but good music is good music. |
