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.

Never mind.

One of the rare occasions when I answered the wrong question. As always, my answer was correct, I just have to wait until the correct question is asked.

I will punish myself by reading 6 reviews on directional fuses.

Cheers

Of course you did, was being a top musician not part of how you  feel ?

Oh , going to Oprea ,  what I would fight for there  is Bjorling and Victoria de los Angles in Butterfly . They moved me more than anything in music I ever heard!

Two Greats, Bjorling sang in perfection of her voice , impossible but he did it, He did it, sure effected in other parts of my life .

Well, Frogman--to start the Schiff clip was the best I’ve seen on You Tube .

Big deal when you see fingers like that and eyes are come into the game .

I mus have 30 Perahia CD’s of Schubert , great Schubert man for sure .

 

BUT , I don’t know if that clip is before or after the heroic fight with his illness.

BUT , just what I hear is not making the super highlights  of Schiff either up or down,LIKE A STREAM, !!         

Still Perahia is better than most.

 

 

WithSchiff. When I thought what is he doing,in a mili-second I found out OMG style!

BUT , again Perahia would have to get the same clip. I have nothing but respect for him, Ears and Heart .

More to discover
