Now when you put jazz and Blakey in the mix we really got it going on;

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 was Larry Young’s birthday today! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lJbHJ3w3iTb0yZO0b_Q_aDcv3j5UjfpzA I would have led off with this one, but I’ve posted it at least twice previously. One of my favorite records: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nqeyHFph6j7oela51Da3lb7b-OemqwN6M |
Where is Rok? I hope he’s doing ok. I think he may have locked himself in his library so as to not be disturbed while he reads Giddins’ “Celebrating Bird” for the tenth time. So much to learn; so little time! Get ready, y’all, detailed analysis and explanation of “Indiana changes” forthcoming 😊. On the other hand, he may simply be putting the finishing touches on the Ornette Coleman in effigy piñata that will be the highlight of today’s Jazz birthday celebration. Happy birthday, Pepper! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k45MgX_auRb6uySHZerEDXSiY8-tncXts |
