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.

Cannonball Adderley Sextet Cannonball(alto), Nat(cornet), Charles Lloyd(tenor, flute), Joe Zawinul(piano), Sam Jones(bass), Louis Hayes(drums) CANNONBALL ADDERLEY'S FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Capitol Jazz 1964 Notes: " 'Fiddler on the Roof', ... opened on Broadway on September 22, 1964 with the larger-than-life Zero Mostel in the title role. Only a month later, on October 19, alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, a kind of larger-than-life character himself, took his sextet into the studio to record an album of selections from the soon to be world renowned musical. Cannonball was prescient -- he had realized not only the social and historical significance of the show but also the fact that it contained some very special music that would lend itself to the kind of appealing improvisations with which he and his band members dazzled audiences and won over new listeners to Jazz." to life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fChkHmHcU5Y sabbath prayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fWY8tyNlzA chavalah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhkIU2-RAiQ matchmaker, matchmaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlmSDrrwqi4 Cheers |
