No more Zawinul, but very interesting record of his music.

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.

And then Bill Frisell helps us with our blues. Keegiam, sorry about your friend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHU24jeFKeU |
Sorry to hear that, Keegiam. I too lost a dear friend recently; a very sad feeling indeed. Hang in there. Best to you and your friend’s family. Not usually my cup of tea, but my dear wife a country music fan recently introduced me to this interesting song writer: https://youtu.be/edH1zYNPPoU |
Thank you all for your thoughts. Frogman, the guitar in the intro to Lucinda Williams made me think of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game." Maybe your wife will hear the similarity. (Or maybe I'm off my rocker?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vKsSGyQf-M&t=14s |
