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.

This is the pressing that I have and that I bought from this source a while back. Have never heard the original, but I can tell you that this (my copy, at least) is more than decent sound wise. If I were to rate my copy for quietness, I would say A-. I am more tolerant of surface noise than some. Recommended. https://elusivedisc.com/dexter-gordon-daddy-plays-the-horn-180g-lp-mono/ Very nice record from one of my favorite tenor players. We recently looked at the great pianist Kenny Drew and I believe this was their first of many collaborations. I like Dexter from this period in his career. A little lighter toned and not as (almost) painfully behind the beat as he was later in his career. (Love the cover art.) https://youtu.be/JgfBUwUSsO8 https://youtu.be/y6oQNo7i0XE |
Do you think Kenny Rice would remember talking to me and my girlfriend when he sat at our table while watching John Coltrane perform at a nightclub in St. Louis? https://www.discogs.com/artist/397123-Kenny-Rice |
" Truth is that you tend to use this thread as a vehicle for personal story telling (not all real, by your own admission); sometimes even more so than simply for sharing and discussing the music. When you don’t score points you often act like a mean spirited old man. Interesting how truth always has a way of revealing itself." If any one wants to know the reason for my last post, ask Frogman? |
