Bud Powell and Fats Navarrow made sweet music together.

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.

Bud Powell and Fats Navarrow made sweet music together. From the notes by Bob Blumenthal: "Yet when The Scene Changes was recorded in 1958, Powell could no longer channel what Max Harrison once described as his "admittedly delirious emotions" with the relentless eloquence that suffuses his playing on the 1949 Modernists recordings that feature Fats Navarro and Sonny Rollins, or the 1951 Trio date with Curly Russell and Max Roach that produced three different dazzling takes of "Un Poco Loco"..... Who appoints these clowns Jazz critics? Nice clips Cheers Btw, OP, are your ears burning? Mine are. |
One of my favorite Monk tunes. Written for his friend Bud Powell: https://youtu.be/FuHjgKQDofs https://youtu.be/Xi2QtibSSJ4 https://youtu.be/BIdz11_E-vQ https://youtu.be/gnGLy1l1A8I (aloe!) |
