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.

Lately, when I check these pages, I feel like watching a slot machine rolling... smthg. like this... https://youtu.be/ZqVpSIqG4pg Rok, what is going on? Why so many posts this way? Almost all communication is gone now, its like there is a random stramer posting here instead of you? |
rok2id, 5 Tracks, I thought four were very nice. Esp 'California Dreaming' and 'El Mar'. My initial impression was that I was listening to 70s fusion, which it turns out, is exactly what it is. But, very well done. Talent always shines through. I like it a lot more in 2021 than I would have liked it in 1971. Overall it's a keeper. Cheers |
Lately, when I check these pages, I feel like watching a slot machine rolling... Well its seems as if all the so-called Aficionados have jumped ship. I assume The Frogman is working / on tour. Maybe he's a hostage in North Korea, or perhaps he's planning Bay of pigs 2.0. The OP has quit Jazz and gone into primitive third world noise. Our friends in Croatia, including the Queen, have disappeared. The other regulars don't post as often as they once did. Soooooo, there is no one to communicate with. There are still viewers. You think folks aren't posting simply because I am posting?? hmmmmmm Maybe I should take a hint. Cheers |
