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: Lester Young -- LESTER YOUNG IN WASHINGTON, D.C. 1956, vol 2 Recorded live at Olivia’s Patio Lounge. Vol 2 of Four volumes. House trio backing. It shows. Not the most balanced recording. But, it’s Lester! lester leaps in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgbCjn5hsuY i’m confessin’(that I love you) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UijfTz195rY jumpin’ with symphony sid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhbeP7Mv_8 lullabye of birdland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrdYnd51ZFo Cheers Notes: "Bill Potts who led the accompanying trio, coaxed, cajoled, and bribed the great tenor into letting him record much of the engagement for private use." Private use???? So how does it end up on records 24 years later?? Long after Young's death. Makes a body wonder. |
I went to the grocery, and bought everything I'm not supposed to eat according to my doctor, but he doesn't know how good it tastes; lucky for him I didn't buy everything I'm not supposed to drink. I seem to find "mainstream jazz" somewhat boring, consequently I'm still with Billy Bang, and others; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVJMOpIHBgc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uuSaOZg8hI One of my fantasies is to have a lady who looks just like this lady to sing this song to me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY0fuEfBmD4 Another fantasy I have is to go to that "Secret Place" with Patty Austin; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aswdhf4vom4 |
