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.

In other words, any war fought by America that's not to save their asses, is a useless war.
I may have been confused by the Name USSR (Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics). I am now educated. Cheers

Yes like in national-socialism.... Same name... But do you think Finland Sweden and other similar countries resembling Quebec are communists or Nazis because the name " socialism" is glued to the definition of USSR and NAZISM ? Do you think a country where corporations had " legal persona" on par with humans and a country where their Lobbies and bankers rules over presidents even if they are completely alike one another like in this crisis, do yo think that this fusion of corporations and of the state behind closed doors, called "fascism" in Mussollini Italia dont exist in any form wharsoever in America because the right "name label " is not used by sold and controlled " journalism"? If you think so you are deluded....Trumpian or Bidenian voters dont matter much, word dont matter much.... Reality is there to be seen and understood even without "words calling" I will mute myself.... Dont add propaganda here though which want to make equal word with others words and the REALITY to some other words... Reality has no name.......
Anyway my best to you and thanks from all of us for all your big work signaling to us the best in jazz...I feel i must apologize for my post.... 😁😊 «We can see reality, but we cannot name it yet, and it is the only way to know that we really see her, not our daily hallucination or habit »-Anonymus Smith « Then a "thing" seen may be a new universe, but if named it appears suddenly just your toilet bowl?»-Groucho Marx🤓

By the way i am flabbergasted by PAT MARTINO music...
I listened few more albums they are ALL of interest and the music is creative surprizing... It is not only my favorite guitar player now but one of my best jazz artist forever... His playing is obsessionately hypnotical, motivated like in a trance....His mastering creativity for a composer dominate all the musicians around him... The music is his children even when he does not play... I cannot stop listening him... I dont remember a so strong experience before, save for Chet Baker and Bill Evans and very few others.... His music is more intense than just beautiful like Scriabin music , and the reason are the same and related to this fact : these 2 musicians are "possessed" by a music creativity "daemon" ....In the 2 cases Scriabin and Martino so different they are, melodical power are under the domination of some powerful colored reoccuring chords flows...And these chords in the 2 cases swallowed me up and down like Jonas swallowed by the whale and dancing in his belly....
Read this description of his inspired innovative playing in wiki :
« Martino stated, "There are elements within an instrument’s architecture that initiate a continuous source of valuable information. For the guitar, there are two. The first is the major third interval, and the second is the minor third interval. Once we view their repetitive information, they begin to appear as a series of automatic functions."[8] Martino’s lines contain chromatic links outside any particular IIm7 chord that might be conceptualized over a chord progression, even in the examples he provides in his books and instructional videos. On his bulletin board he has stated that he formulated the system more as a way to explain his playing rather than as something to use to create music. In his own words, "although the analysis of some of my recorded solos have been referred to as modal, personally I’ve never operated in that way. I’ve always depended upon my own melodic instinct, instead of scale like formulas."[9] »
All the albums i listened to are great , this one is also a great one: |
