Thanks for the advice, but I am aware of everything. And I don't like Chubby Checker.

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.

Today's Listen: Louis Armstrong / Oscar Peterson -- LOUIS ARMSTRONG MEETS OSCAR PETERSON with / Herb Ellis(guitar), Ray Brown(bass), Louis Bellson(drums). blues in the night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzlrftoLIgY you go to my head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUMq7Dtah4 makin' whoopee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CUXRiebq78 lets fall in love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Y0wORPzI8 Tri-fold cardboard packaging. They deserve better. Notes require electron microscope. Oh well. Cheers |
Fabulous! “Let’s Fall in Love” is a gem. Sleeper contribution: Louie Bellson. Check out his brush work. Amazing. Talk about deserving more attention! Peterson is his usual brilliant self. My one complaint about the record is that I feel that the piano, the rhythm section in general, could have been mixed a little hotter. The focus is Louis being very upfront and I think the music would have been better served if they had been treated a little closer to equals. |
