Pjw, when God created women, he didn't know when to stop, and he just kept on going till he created something that runs men crazy.
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.

Here is one of the greatest jams ever in the history of jazz, and not only do you get to hear it, but you get to see it; these are giants of jazz all jamming together. What I like, is the way they look at one another with admiration; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdMRrezUhJw |

"All Day Long"; I could listen to this all day long, and think of any other activity I could be engaged in "All Day Long" while listening. Life is good, but it would be a lot better if I was 50 years younger. This is the "creme de la creme"; it don't get no better than this, all these performers were at the top of their game. (mine wasn't too shabby either when I first heard this) This begins with a drum roll by Blakey, and Kenny B strumming on his guitar, before Lou Donaldson comes out blasting on that sweet alto of his (I love that tone). Kenny B. comes back plunking that most distinctive guitar before the most illustrious Jimmy Smith takes over. (I could distinguish these musicians by the sound of their instruments alone before reading the cover, can you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqt77N0ne8 |
