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.

To whom it may concern, Blakey's "Drum Suite" is more African in regard to the drumming than most drum albums that can be found in Africa; that's because of the time span between when that record was made and now, as well as those spectacular drummers;I'm glad that it is in my collection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A1ndido_Camero https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabu_Martinez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Jones Personnel Art Blakey - drums Bill Hardman (4–6), Donald Byrd (7–9) - trumpet Jackie McLean - alto saxophone (tracks 4–6) Ira Sullivan - tenor saxophone (7–9) Ray Bryant (tracks 1–3), Sam Dockery (tracks 4–6), Kenny Drew (7–9) - piano Oscar Pettiford - bass, cello (tracks 1–3) Spanky DeBrest (tracks 4–6), Wilbur Ware (tracks 7–9) - bass Jo Jones - drums (tracks 1–3) Charles "Specs" Wright - drums, timpani, gong (tracks 1–3) Candido Camero, Sabu Martinez - bongos (tracks 1–3) It's a spectacular album. |
