OP, I'm happy you enjoyed Sonny Criss. But, c'mon, you're still sneaking in a listen and an occasional comment, so we're not buying the "retired OP" role just yet.
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.

Hiromi Uehara - no holds barred in this amazing live performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr98Qt99mN0 |

Hiromi Uehara - no holds barred in this amazing live performance.keegiam Hiromi is an electrifying presence live in the spot light. I have seen her a couple times at the Blue Note in NYC. To say Miss Uehara is passionate about music is an under statement. I first discovered her remarkable virtuosity when she released "Beyond Standard" back in 2008 and made it a goal to see her with her band at that time, Sonic Bloom. With that goal achieved in 2009 I set about purchasing all of her releases which all get repeated listening’s here. I also saw her with the Trio Project like the clip you posted. Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips are considered top tier on their respective instruments (I have all of Phillips’ "Protocol" releases). Do yourself a favor and get the Beyond Standard album.

(24) SIMON PHILLIPS & PROTOCOL 4 / ALL THINGS CONSIDERED - STUDIO LIVE SESSION - LITTLE BIG BEAT STUDIOS - YouTube Here is another awesome project Simon Phillips was a part of. I think out OP might like this one. (24) Trilok Gurtu, Simon Phillips & NDR Bigband - 21 Spices (Full Album) - YouTube |
