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.

Glad you liked it, mahgister. Here is another interesting pianist that I enjoy. Subtle and introspective approach with a remarkably gentle tone. https://youtu.be/lmKOVUF6kNY https://youtu.be/UqydkoacVwg https://youtu.be/kNhrygNQthw (Maybe Alex will like this one) |

Was OP a bebop artist? I return for this one question based upon respect for the knowledge of many of the aficionados here. This link of Oscar Peterson has recently had a bit of exposure. In it Beato makes a couple of references for Peterson being a bebop pianist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj93v9j2A4A I admit I never thought of him as an example of that style. Yes, he was fast and played with virtuosity of performance (keys of bebop styling) but Oscar doesn't come to mind for me when I think of Bird, Dizzy, and other notable bebop musicians. So I'm curious, how many of you would identify Oscar Peterson as a bebop artist? |
<<The other regulars don't post as often as they once did. Soooooo, there is no one to communicate with. There are still viewers. >> I don't think I ever made it to "regular" status due to my relative newbie-ness (sp?), but I do intend to return this month. Just checked in this AM because I wanted some new (old?) music to play at a friend's house. So I came to JFA - of course. Rok, maybe your comment will jump start JFA, which used to be downright vibrant and can still be the best online jazz forum I've ever encountered. Life has thrown a lot of stuff my way the past few months. Thanks for the last few days of great stuff everyone. I'll be back soon. |
