but they do seem to be stuck in a rut lately.
some of us are stuck in Jazz. Some others have broken free.

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.

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley Cannonball(alto), Nat(cornet), Lateef(tenor, flute, oboe), Zawinul(piano), Jones(bass), Hayes(drums) THE CANNONBALL ADDERLEY SEXTET IN NEW YORK Notes: "The saga of Cannonball Adderley's band, which has unquestionably been one of the most dazzling success stories in modern Jazz history, has been highlighted by recording sessions of the most "modern" kind--on-the-job, in-the-club albums that have only become possible because of the improved tape-recording and microphone techniques and equipment of recent years. -- Keepnews Riverside 1962 / 2008 gemini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPv1HnliyPw dizzy's business https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WgxMVWKXx4 scotch and water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F-dhZF9HLU Cheers |
For the OP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX8TJbfXFjA It's on Chesky!! I bought "Drums of Passion" back in the day, but have not opened it yet. Cheers |
Can’t think of many players deserving this much attention. Great Cannonball survey! Thanks! Probably my favorite alto player. Here’s one not posted yet: https://youtu.be/D821Atw0HwQ |
