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: Horace Silver -- SERENADE TO A SOUL SISTER featuring: Stanley Turrentine Excellent notes. Recorded in two sessions, with two different groups in 1968. These 3 tunes are with Turrentine on Tenor. Silver gives his "personal guide lines to musical composition." He also lists his "personal Do Nots of musical composition." "I personally do not believe in politics, hatred, or anger in my musical composition." The year being 1968, I can see why he felt the need to say this. serenade to a soul sister https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih6TZVBMG5c **psychedelic sally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NblTtO26r3s rain dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrP3Yf1gZiQ All tunes 'dedicated' to various friends and family. Cheers ** I thought I would hate it, but loved it. |
Possibly the angriest band in the world at The Open Door, Greenwich Village (1953) - Charles Mingus (double bass), Thelonious Monk (piano), Roy Haynes (drums) and Charlie Parker (alto saxophone)
