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.

Diz has a number of versions of this tune and I like them all but I think this is my favorite; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkvZ4k2AGS8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY79siaQkCw Better than any of "Bird's Bop", and better than any of "Diz's Bop" is Bird and Diz's Bop; it's killer, and ages ago I had every record they made together. I don't think you can find all of them now, but get what you can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzzE73QK_Kk&list=PLLHYIb60T4djef4fEOOv_sguVbAk5PBpN |
Today’s Listen: Bud Powell -- THE SCENE CHANGES with / Bud Powell(piano), Paul Chambers(bass), Art Taylor(drums) Nice foldout with Notes by Leonard Feather(original), and Bob Blumenthal(reissue). Feather: "He has never ceded his position as the most vital of the original bop pianists; yet there is not a single sentence about him, for instance, in ’hear me talkin’ to ya’, while in the Andre Hodeir book there is a brief dismissal with these words: "circumstances that we won’t dwell on here have prevented Bud Powell from achieving a full realization of his immense possibilities." "Hear me Talkin’ to Ya" is a book on Jazz written by Nat Shapiro and Nate Hentoff. Andre Hodeir was / is a French Violinist who wrote books on Jazz. Perfect examples of why you should always read books or articles on Jazz and Jazz players, with the upmost skepticism. Some don’t know what they are talking about, but all have agendas. comin’ up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgelnipWFoU crossin’ the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAwDGiI97tA the scene changes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MSI2YRmBm8 down with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYrRxyOsCg0 borderick -- written for his son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XTPL1fG9Vo Cheers Very good album, but, I sort of missed the horns. Without horns, ’sameness’ can creep in. Unless you're Oscar Peterson. :) |
