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.

Polks are recommended, but not a requirement. brought back a lot of good memories of my misspent youth (wish I could misspend it all over again); especially this tune; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBG3qpYj5DU&t=48s "The Bump" was the only dance I mastered; I was "The Bump Meister", and them skin tight britches always seemed to be white so I could spot em in a crowd. I know you remember "The Bump. |

The Ohio Players: Too hot to handle. You had to use asbestos gloves just to handle their LPs. They just sounded x-rated. The Bump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkb6OpoL6Z8 Cheers |
