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.

@pjw81563,

All my wire is Blues Jeans.  LC-1 and 10 white.   I got my locking bananas separate and attached them myself.

Is it worth the money to get the welded bananas?

Thanks

Cheers



An enigma to solve.....

Why one of the best vibraphonist i know of has recorded so little?

He plays searching harmony and harmonics more than rythm for sure...

I have not tried my experiment yet. I do have the BJ cables now but I need a couple hours time to listen to the same songs through the same source with my current 5 dollar RCA interconnects and 14 gauge speaker wire with crimped on banana plugs.

I will then connect all the new BJ cables and see if there is a difference.

As far as your situation the only answer I could give would be to drop the 85 bucks Amazon price for two 6 foot long BJ 10 gauge white with banana plus welded on and see if it make a difference. If not Amazon does take returns in most cases.
