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.

Influence of Miles, and -- Others may know this but it was recent news for me. Watching a program on the making of Pink Floyd's classic "Dark Side of the Moon", I learned that PF keyboard player Richard Wright said a major influence in his playing was jazz, and particularly Miles' "KOB" album. He found an offbeat chord there that he then used on Dark Side. This information came just over a week after reading that Greg Allman - Allman Brothers Band - listened repeatedly to "KOB" and he learned improvisation from that. Some years ago an interview with Roger McGuinn - Byrds - credited Coltrane with inspiring his jangly guitar intro to "Eight Miles High". There likely have been many other jazz influences on pop/rock recordings but I don't know enough about music to pick those out. Still an interesting note that while jazz popularity was diminishing the rock music that became so dominant looked to jazz for creativity. |
I dont think that someone in music could "stole" more than he can chew.... There is no stolen thing, but insemination and creativity.... Music is like the miraculous fishes multiplication in the Gospel, it is a meal like at Easter nobody can chew more than his share or stole and keep to himself alone...Or if music is a disease, it is contagious, and your symptoms ( style) correspond exactly to your exact external viruses load exposition.... |
