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.

Likewise, not much posts about Eddie Harris ’Mean greens’ from 1966. I like the trumpet player here, Ray Codrington, does anybody cares to mention some good albums where he plays? https://youtu.be/yibgqq9N1Ds https://youtu.be/kZ1QyYVNe6E |
Good player, Codrington. My first exposure to his playing was on this other Eddie Harris record which I posted a while back. Probably his best known record, it features Codrington and Harris’ best known composition “Freedom Jazz Dance” which has become a modern Jazz standard. https://youtu.be/iDrH5urtCbQ Alex, Codrington’s best known associations were with Harris with whom he recorded several records and with the great pianist Larry Willis. Not on YouTube (sorry), but I recommend Willis’s record “Sanctuary” featuring Codrington. Speaking of Harris and trumpet, Harris pioneered the rather bizarre hybrid instrument the reed trumpet. A trumpet with a saxophone mouthpiece: https://youtu.be/NMmjh4qkEZY |
