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.

It is almost nine o’clock in the evening. My old friend often tells me stories about the time when he was young soldier in now ex - YU army. (When a guy starts to talk about the time serving, that can last.) Anyway, one of his fond memories was the sound of trumpet they had on all occasions. One of these was trumpet announcing the bed time. They called it ’Povecerje’ (term close to Evening time). After Povecerje was played, you could not hear a single soul anywhere. The army discipline. :--) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LWw9-4-VV0E It’s still early to go to sleep but after the prelude, my earphones are eager to hear the music from my jazz friends. Good night boys. |

Great Illinois Jacquet selections alec I don't have "The Message" but I do have the last two albums. I have seen Pat Martino multiple times. He is a tiny frail looking man that probably weighs 110 pounds soaking wet but he sure can play that guitar. When Pat was starting out he played with another great funky saxman by the name of Willis "Gator" Jackson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUzWaTTrqnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-GlVn2_pXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65YLpkN8_r8 Gator and Pat went together like peanut butter and jelly. |
