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.

Julian "Cannonball Adderley with Milt Jackson THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER Cannonball(alto), Milt Jackson(vibes), Wynton Kelly(Piano), Percy heath(bass), Art Blakey(drums) Riverside / Original Jazz Classics 1958 / 1988 Notes: "Bags and Cannonball belong together for several reasons--not the least of which is that both eagerly welcomed the opportunity to get together. There is also the fact that both are firmly "modern traditionalists": musicians with An awareness of Jazz roots and with, in both cases, a strong rhythmic sense and an emphasis on the beat as a basic part of their playing pattern." Above all...both are, deservedly, highly regarded as practitioners of the Blues." things are getting better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlHuww-O89E the sidewalks of new york (take 5) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0OA8QYFLcw just one of those things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6poRgn8uD0 blues oriental https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQgZOQc9oE0 Cheers |
