My tastes are closer to the ancient stuff straight out of the Bush.
The OP likes his NOISE pure and authentic.

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.

Frogman, of course, got that one, as well as 'live at seattle' that was issued not long ago, with Kelly and Montgomery, we mentioned it here as well. But, I prefer sound of Burrell and even Grant Green's more than Montgomery's, aldo have many of his recordings as well. Here is one for Schubert... https://youtu.be/_Wy9ApLsAvA But, Kelly, for me he has got 'that something', in the way he sometimes plays single note, he gives accent on it, instantly recognisable. Frogman, I dont know can I describe with accuracy what exactly do I mean/hear, but perhaps you could explain it better, how piano players (Kelly in this case) get their tone so distinctive? Listen to these couple of first notes....I do not think that I ve heard anybody plays them like he does... https://youtu.be/ldTIXsCXJhc |
Mary_jo, Ahmad Jamal has two versions of this one song, which one do you like best? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVnCnmIrDgU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jAn4_0AUmM The title is "If I find You Again"; that's such a beautiful thought; I imagine we all have experienced a time when the sun was always shining, even when it was raining if we were with a particular person. Paradise was right here on earth, as long as we were with that particular person. This song makes me think of that impossible thought "If I Find You Again" I'm sure if you rifle your memory, there is someone in your past that this song applies to. Whether there is or not, maybe you still think this is a beautiful song. |
