Thank you gentlemen. I will continue to read and learn from the “aficionados ”!
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.

Post some of your favorite music. Btw, to be clear, I have no objection of any kind to Tidal or streaming in general. We are creatures of habit I suppose and with a couple of thousand LPs and Cds including some I haven’t listened to yet, it’s my comfort zone. Frankly, I am more than a little intrigued by streaming services. Alex is good person to recommend some other great Chet Baker. |

Dom Um Ramao was the man with the Afro-Brazilian groove like no other; he incorporated Africa in his music like sugar in cake, and it was the Africa that was unique to Brazil. There are many African rhythms, but there is a certain African rhythm that’s unique to Brazil, and I can hear it, but not everyone can distinguish the different rhythms from Africa. Although from Africa, it is no longer heard on that continent, like so many things from Africa, it is gone for good from that continent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sttkxPzizY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXXXIs8XWxw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRmlCe9ghQ4 Dom’s tune takes me to a place between here and there where I want to be forever. |
