I wouldn’t mind either.
I will dropp a coin in my piggy bank today. One step forward to Ipanema.

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.

mary_jo I have that Getz/Evans album in my collection. And the song you posted is just one out of all the beautiful music recorded on those dates 5 - 6 May 1964. I was 9 months old. Here is some earlier Getz recorded for the Roost record label between 1950 and 1954. Getz, in his mid 20’s at that time had already arrived at his full, rich tone and was able to improvise with skill and grace. I have the "Complete Roost Sessions" 3 CD set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI9hnD0YIz0&list=OLAK5uy_lGNrj25Tk3BD0x1Hf_fkhiyAhdEB4ORr8 |
Great pick alec. Although they did not get along Getz and Baker played many recording sessions together both studio and live and I found the music, for the most part, very good. Here is one in my collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29ZK6XUxHek&list=PL1vTNGM5zLFdpEOwfU3g60HiQOdgLCESa |
o10 I have been to Ipanema many times. I hope one day both you and mary_jo get there. Ipanema lies just south of Copacabana beach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-YnyZG8fNU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-vlX8uRLMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ca1ctUkU3Q |
