I was listening Latimore more than several times today and will still. Either you know how to aim deep or we are simply on the same level. Not that important but coincidentally and not that long ago I was in a "role" of a man from this song so I'm experiencing it in more intensive way. This is not the first time that you match with a song that what happens currently in my life. I like the feeling.

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.

Frogman, thanks for sharing these
Chick Corea compositions I knew nothing about until this morning. All 20 pieces are beautifully
composed and, it seems to me, melodically complex and largely unique. Only
a handful of them seem to be intended for children to enjoy. Most of them seem better suited for adults to reflect on childhood itself. My personal favorite is No. XIII. The artist on the collection you
posted is Leon Bates. I did find this
live performance of Chick playing 12 of the pieces. There is a studio version of him playing all
20 on ECM, released in 2008. This live
performance is from 1982: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPT6CrYzN8M&feature=emb_err_woyt |

Glad you liked those pieces, Keegiam. Yes, Leon Bates. I agree with your description of them. I have the ECM recording by Chick and surprised it’s not on YouTube. Here’s a favorite by Chick that sometimes goes under the radar: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kVRzddQFvRgfEQvoNfBxbn1xN_RUpCJf8 |
