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.

Frog, Joe Zawinul Syndicate's music is something that I tried to listen to many times. I seemingly don't have much against it but it never resonates. Here's a 'calm' McLaughlin with Zawinul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhHhLCl2_mI&ab_channel=pepipopupapi |
First part. Before they start playing fast as if trying to outrun each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVkk0Fao3y8&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=32&ab_ch... |
My dear friend Fred passed yesterday, so I've been seeking solace in music, as I often do. He was, although professionally accomplished, one of the most down to earth, genuine, humble and funny friends I've ever had. Lo and behold, I stumbled upon a recording (unbeknownst to me) by one of my most revered guitarists, Joe Pass, simply entitled "Blues for Fred." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhlle47UdWM Fred, thanks for being you. |
No more Zawinul, but very interesting record of his music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK239K6n0RA&list=RDFK239K6n0RA&start_radio=1&t=14 |
