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.

Keegiam, you are welcome, but we’ll have to wait to see what our resident bleues expert (Rok) have to say about it...live clip with Brown certainly sounded like one(blues)to me... Orpheus, I would not agree that blues must be presented with vocal, to be called ’the blues’...I’ve would say that ’feeling’ behind it is more important... Dizzy, Terry, Hubbard, with Peterson and Pass, from later years... album The Trumpet Summit Meets The Oscar Peterson Big Four 1980 https://youtu.be/FTshuTxrSvU Kenny Burrell ’Blues the common ground’ album from 1967. Not like his usual settings... https://youtu.be/CwskVXNwvKM https://youtu.be/_6g7OVtqz1s https://youtu.be/Mhy2gVTNE4w edit; Frogman and Rok, you should try something with Van Halen (re resident jazz queen) you might be surprised... Listening the Hooker, I could not resist...I like this album John Lee and Earl Hooker If you miss 'im...i got 'im" (1969) https://youtu.be/yD2RvYqW3-E https://youtu.be/VC3cl5TLHAM |
