The lack of money is the root of all evil; you can safely walk the rich sidewalks of the North side of Chicago morning noon or night with your jewelry, and no one will give you a second glance.So as the greed for money even though you have enough to live with.
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: Bill Potts -- THE JAZZ SOUL OF PORGY & BESS with / Everyone. Most notable, Charlie Shavers, Harry Edison, Art Farmer, Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Cleveland, Phil Woods, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, and Bill Evans. Don’t know if they captured the essence of Porgy & Bess, but the playing is exceptional. Excellent booklet that even lists the Soloists that play on each number. Always helpful for us Amateurs. Amazon says I purchased this in 2017. This is my second time playing it. One of those that you appreciate as time goes on. Recorded January 13, 14 & 15 in NYC. 1959. Great year for Jazz. summertime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkQ6zbREf3w my man’s gone now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QTRZTHZ-3g I got plenty of nuttin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqooYPiQLI8 it ain’t necessarily so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FirkLdjGYV0 I loves you, porgy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=412phI_qZAg Cheers |
