Schubert, amazing. Thank you. I had only heard of Brookmeyer through his work with Kenny Wheeler. This is a tour de force.
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.

Frogman, since you mentioned the fact that Jerry was unknown to me because I'm not a fan of big bands, in my effort to be cordial (big mistake) I looked for him on the list that you provided and discovered he was on a record in my collection. So I decided to give it a listen, not a collectors item, but not bad either. Mind you this is all in my effort to be cordial. That gave you an opportunity to tear down a record that you were responsible for being brought up in the first place. Then Rok chimes in. After that Pjw chimes in even worse, he couldn't listen to the record for 30 seconds. So I decided to put up a better record for your and Pjw's evaluation: I'm still waiting for the evaluation of that post. 03-07-2021 8:38pm |
Look what popped up on the fantastic Chico Hamilton tune "Forest Flower": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rcIrxBJtUg |
O10 I'm at your service. Chico Hamilton's "Man From Two Worlds" is a very good album and "Forest Flower" is my favorite song on it. A few months ago I picked up a 3 CD set titled "Chico Hamilton and Eric Dolphy the Complete Studio Recordings" and I liked it so much I decided to buy one album from before the Hamilton/Dolphy period of the late 50's which features Buddy Collette on sax and flute and one after the H/D period with Charles Lloyd taking the sax flute chair and the one I bought was "Man From Two Worlds" On all of the material I mentioned above there is great "interplay" between the guitarist and the sax/flute. Buddy Collette/Jim Hall, Charles Lloyd/Gabor Szabo, and Eric Dolphy/John Pisano. Here is the Hamilton/Collette album I have. It is a 24 bit remaster on CD. HAMILTON, CHICO QUINTET - Complete Studio Recordings + Bonus Tracks - Amazon.com Music And a song from it. (3) Chico Hamilton Quintet - Blue Sands - YouTube |
