It's not my fault that I couldn't forget her.

That's what she told me many years ago, and sometime I still see the shadow of her smile.
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.

While exploring "Autumn Leaves," couldn't pass up sharing this Ben Webster/Oscar Peterson gig from '72: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5IaMdhVBFo |

Now , this is a lady who REALLY knows how she wants to play her guitar !https://youtu.be/SKQG-JGyn7U?t=3 Mother Cotten was a North Carolina girl and wrote the Iconic picking standard " Freight Train". . To go through he life would take all day , IMO she was at the National Treasure level. She wrote this at 11 and sings this at 90 . I think her voice is beautiful . https://youtu.be/g8UN_6AUgCw?t=1 |
