Great clips of Sonny Rollins in Denmark '65 & '68. Pederson is on bass both times around, really going all-out.

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.

Apologies if this has been posted before. This is in the middle of my favorite Coltrane years. Where the heck is everyone? Mile & Coltrane, Paris, 1960 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VE_dP90V84&t=154s |
This a compilation of performances by the Tony Williams quintet 1986-1991. It is 3 hours long, and I'm only a half hour in, but Herbie Hancock is blowing me away. For me Tony Williams was the most musical drummer ever. I know that's vague, but he played with a kind of 3D feeling no other drummer had. He made a go of being a band leader in the 80's-90's. I don't think he achieved much notoriety, but the quintet made a lot of great music. I do happen to have a pre-release TWQ CD from the late 90's. Great stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZwHYX7_fgA&t=5541s |
I’ve been enjoying TW’s Civilization as well as Believe It and Million Dollar Legs. Keegiam, if you haven’t already heard it, you might enjoy a "tribute" to Tony called, "Blues for Tony". It’s a live performance by Alan Pasqua, Allan Holdsworth, Jimmy Haslip and Chad Wackerman. Good sounding recording and some great performances. |
