Might be just me , but seems to me almost all bands do their best
in Copenhagen , maybe the girls ?
Not that Basie and Co. needed anything but themselves !

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.

@frogman: " I love Scofield. But, a must-have?" Have you heard the 2 cds he's done with J. Lovano? "Time On My Hands" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+scofield+time+on+my+hands "Meant To Be" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7QU0UqPUx4&list=OLAK5uy_lbfLBZzOcvTmuu56_O_VUDr49WFcqawkA OR, Joe Henderson's "So Near-- So Far-- Musings for for Miles". https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=joe+hendersom+msuings+for+miles If your preference is for Scofield the Jazzer, I believe you should check these out. I'm personally not a fan of his more commercial stuff and therefore cannot offer any recommendations in that regard. |
Either the concept of democracy is corrupt or worse, the humankind is. The whole point of the piece was this; When the TRUTH is no longer allowed to be spoken or heard, written or read, it's game, set, match. So, how do you enslave the world? First control the schools. Then the press / media / internet. Then destroy the meaning of the language. "The long march to the institutions." The writings(warnings) of George Orwell and Ayn Rand are no longer fiction. I think it was Lenin who said "The Capitalists will sell us the rope we hang them with." Cheers |
