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.

Keegiam, that “Old Folks” with Hutcherson and Locke is fantastic. Thanks. Hutcherson was possibly the greatest ever vibes player and Locke, the young(er) lion. They seem to be having a blast playing together. Beautiful musical interaction between the two. I first heard Joe Locke several years ago when I went to hear Eddie Daniels play at The Iridium. Had never heard Locke and was knocked out. This was the very band that I heard that night. Having concentrated on the clarinet for the past many years, some forget what a great tenor player Daniels is: https://youtu.be/kVDo6zU7fbA https://youtu.be/7iC1PkZYVdU https://youtu.be/SYnZBrr7CCs Speaking of Eddie Daniels and Joe Henderson, a young Eddie Daniels holding his own with Joe; not an easy feat. It was in Thad and Mel’s Orchestra that Eddie started turning heads: https://youtu.be/WOhaMFY0MvE |
Funny titles never stops to amaze me. A piece about cars being towed, man... Speaking of odd titles, a minute ago on local radio station https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iFq6eZBS1iM Oh, that's jazz... |
