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.

Art Blakey ART BLAKEY'S JAZZ MESSENGERS AT BIRDLAND Art Blakey(drums), Curtis Fuller(trombone), Freddie Hubbard(trumpet), Wayne Shorter(tenor sax), Cedar Walton(piano), Reggie Workman(bass) Riverside / Original Jazz Classics 1963 / 1989 Notes: "Difficult as it may be to believe, one of America's foremost small-band drummers (and the band leader at that!) has led his group through the recording of an entire album, did it in front of a hip New York nightclub audience --and did not even once take a drum solo! The starling proof of this is in this very album of performances by the always amazing Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers."
