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.

I too enjoy her voice. Hadn’t heard that song in a long time. Very soulful and heart felt delivery. Isn’t this interesting? An otherwise fantastic singer; an icon who some rightfully consider one of the best, maybe THE best ever. Yet, this is not the song for her. What were they thinking?! https://youtu.be/p1Dn3xbDrK0 |
Mary_jo, it's always good to hear from you, that's because you have such a refreshing point of view. I'm glad you like Bobby Gentry; I've been in love with her since the first time I heard her voice when I was crossing that bridge. She's so authentic, "here I am", if you like me that's fine, if you don't, that's fine too, because it won't change a thing. Here's another tune that I like, and I'm going to post it for us; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORfoK5Ap0FA |
We were discussing the Blues before my trolley jumped it's tracks. I wonder how many people woke up with the Blues this morning. They woke up with the Tokyo Blues in Tokyo; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvsdNDOdpbc And they woke up with the Baghdad Blues in Baghdad; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvsdNDOdpbc While in Saigon they just woke up in a "deep phunk"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0GwWi_VfUg |
