Gato Barbieri was one of my favorite artists for ages and whether he played jazz or not is moot to me, I still like his music. (some people pigeon hole music and some don't)

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.

For a long time, all of us on this thread connected very well; we seemed to like the same jazz, but now I'm the one moving to a different drummer; I don't particularly like "new jazz", and a lot of the "old jazz" being submitted is far too "conservative" meaning too "classical jazz" jazz sounding, too "Stereotypical". Lately I'm into music more like this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7TtytWwBOo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjH2EmWdSz4 I don't think it's a bad thing, just a fact of life. |
