frogman I can dig it can you?
Katonah and Zulu Stomp are 2 excellent tunes. I'm gonna have to add some Steve Grossman to my cd collection.

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.

Today’s Listen: Charlie Parker -- BEST OF THE COMPLETE SAVOY AND DIAL STUDIO RECORDINGS Featuring: Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, John Lewis, Erroll Garner, Max Roach, Bud Powell. Very good sound quality, compared to most Bird recordings. tiny’s tempo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgqaulnlt4Q koko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEMiI_wsNi0 cool blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7we5T7Hm95M yardbird suite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMWD4E5vFpI and 16 more. Notice how they get right down to business. One of the good things about 78-rpm time restraints. The rather abrupt endings being a disadvantage. Cheers |
