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.

Mary_jo, along with everyone else here, we are all so happy that you're OK "Life presently is in a state of "Sucks" all over. That's why I am thoroughly ensconced in the past; life was so much better then. I pray that everyone's good luck will continue, and none of us will get struck by any of these crazy calamities. |
Today's Listen: The Quintet -- JAZZ AT MASSEY HALL with / Dizzy Gillespie(trumpet), Charlie Parker(alto saxophone), Bud Powell(piano), Charles Mingus(bass), Max Roach(drums). Recorded May 1953 I was reading my Book on Bird, when I saw a picture of this group taken while this was being recorded. I took that to be a directive, so here it is. The pictures in the book are great. Sometimes we might think these great players appeared in history one after the other, in single file, but the pictures prove they were all here together, at the same time. The sound and overall production sort of sucks, but this group shines thru it all. Ridiculous album cover art, all things considered. all the things you are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWeTpRsOMzg salt peanuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGO51MqeuCM perdido https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TvNzAe3oGo a night in tunisia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkn2rDQx0Ok Mingus on bass !!!!
