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.

This CD is always in my car.

Cars in Croatia have CD players???   Wow!!!   The Queen is more advanced than thought.

Cheers
I thought you said the VW you brought back from Germany had a record player in it? Liner notes are easier to read, but don’t read while driving 😊

Please try this .be patient and listen to the whole album
it was put together in 2017 from the Jazz Scene in London around that time. They have definitely have expanded from the Jazz Standard.
At least it shows you the current ever evolving jazz scene, and even if you do not care for it , I do think that you WILL find it interesting.
I have it on Vinyl . it is a great recording. I like to play it a little  loud......
It has killer deep bass with definition.
O10. It has one of your new favorite groups . It is the last song
