That's true 0-10. If you are in it way too long, you come think of it as the only thing you have and will ever have. Sad story but more common than we would like to acknowledge to ourselves.
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.

Coltrane, I can tell you haven't posted too often on this thread; we liked "Kind of Blue", but only one of us went "Ga Ga" over it. We're not the crowd that has several vinyl copies. I'm from Miles neighborhood, I even found a mistake in his autobiography about "our" neighborhood; he said he lived on 14th and Broadway, it was actually 15th and Broadway. The mistake was made because he lived in the last building in the 1400 block of Broadway. I even knew many of the people he mentioned; one lady he said her name was Josephine or Alma; it was Alma Eubanks, the doctors wife. I never knew all these details until I read his autobiography. I never met him, he was 15 years older than me; or knew so much about him until I read his book, and he had joined that big band in the sky by that time. I liked all of Miles music he made in the 50's, and a lot in later years as well, but I also like a lot of other jazz musicians. Here's one I especially like in the 50's; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-L6zc-xlU0 That solo by "Lucky Thompson" was boss; here's Lucky Thompson again; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1sU4vSDfE4&list=PL7gp579CMkT-QBvYAxzFVzvVJKGtFvtlG |
