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.

Since the honorable Mr. Rok has objected to some of the music I've submitted, I decided to give him other options, but so far I have not succeeded in finding anything that would solicit one of his loquacious comments. Maybe this will get him out of hiding; Once upon a time, I was a teenager, that's when everyday was an adventure to look forward to, and "Doo Wop" was my music. It was also when the girls were prettier than they've ever been. Girls or cars, I didn't know which I liked the most. (Right now I would trade my wife for a 56 convertible Chevy with twin glass packs) What she don't know won't hurt her. Drive-in's, the teen hop, and Summer lawn parties, all serenaded with "Doo Wop". "In The Still of The night" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1TTbUzT8kA Time to get out on the dance floor, or maybe I'm cruising "Lake Shore Drive" in the back seat of a 56 convertible Chevy with Jeannie, or maybe I'm at home listening to the radio and dreaming about Jeannie in the still of the night. "Maybe"....We listened to our song over the phone while our hearts became one; Cookie was going to be my eternal love, we had a telephone love affair. "Get off that phone" that was my mother you heard in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IePTH1PWzAs She was 1000 miles away, and I was in San Antonio Texas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72ZRr3mH20w When I didn't have Venita, I didn't have anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZh6ZSRoYg |
