Maybe an April fools joke?
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.

Inna, right back at you. If the first couple of clips are unbearable đ±, do check out the last, at least. Â Enjoy (?): https://youtu.be/PM1cTxXy6Qo Oscar clearly doesnât know what he is talking about đ: https://youtu.be/p_kUJa1PueM https://youtu.be/yEu0ULY21UI You like speed: https://youtu.be/Q30bdy5b5-c |
Hey, speaking of bean (âBeanâ). I meant to post this last night, before being âdistractedâ by Inna đ. Another favorite tune from Marijaâs soundtrack list. It is often said, and for good reason, that Coltraneâs âGiant Stepsâ was in many ways a game changer in not only what was possible on the tenor saxophone, but also the overall scheme of Jazz improvisation. Rewind a couple of decades and this recording of âBody and Soulâ by Coleman Hawkins (âBeanâ) was a game changer in the way players improvised; and it laid the groundwork for the harmonic complexity and less linear approach which would go on to morph Swing into Bebop. Classic recording: https://youtu.be/zUFg6HvljDE |
