Rok, that music you submitted sure sounds good. I don't have any of it in my collection but I recall listening to it with other people; it's that kind of music.
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: Cannonball Adderley with Bill Evans -- KNOW WHAT I MEAN with Cannonball Adderley(alto sax), Bill Evans(piano), Percy Heath(bass), Connie kay(drums). Sort of like Miles merged with MJQ. Riverside Label, 1961. Notes talk about how Heath and Kay were brought in because they are used to playing 'difficult and subtle music', as part of MJQ. And Bill Evans is unexcelled when 'moody delicacy' is called for, and how Cannonball was burdened with the "The New Bird" label, until he was anointed, "The New Benny Carter". :) It could have been worst, "The New O-10"?? who cares --- george and ira gershwin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yRYTzkuzY waltz for debby --- bill evans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acX3MhM_dpw know what I mean --- bill evans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vp-Z0odHTM toy ---- clifford jordan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRTvayMkaKg Cheers |
As I have stated, some can and some can not hear Bird's Bop. Even Bird with strings is a form of Bird's Bop. Whether they can hear it or not doesn't really matter because no one can play Bird's Bop but Bird. That soft smile that Bird had was really a sly grin, he knew what he brought to town didn't need a patent because no one could copy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fPPkRI2vfk |
