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.

When I was little kid, during hot summer days, I remember my folks had to get up early in the morning to be able to do some work at the field before it gets too hot. A life of a peasant. The same everywhere in the world. I was half asleep when they would put me in the basket that was attached to one side of the saddle of the little donkey, making the balance to the other side, where the basket with the food for lunch was jauntily hanging. At the field, still in the basket, I would wait for the sun to come out. That was the first movie theater I knew about. Mother played the big role by calling the sun to rise. The just risen sun would shone softly on the fields giving bright color to the trees. I was amazed with the picture of the light filling with brightness every shadow on it’s way. My legs, hands, would gradually become golden. Softly As in a Morning Sunrise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAdb7mPAQCM ... I would need today, those eyes of a kid, chasing the morning dew and smiling to the rising sun... A different morning, the way young Bonnie Dobson sees it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgl0YfJiz80 |
And who would ever have thought that baby girl would grow up to be a big girl like this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO-Q_O2vb14 |
