Up late tonight
Where is our OP
Carry on
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.

Hey frogman thanks for your take on Dave Brubeck and co.
pryso your input on Brubeck and co. is welcomed as much as the frogman
Its interesting how the both of you mentioned the "white factor". I remember when I read Art Peppers great autobiography Straight Life that Art mentioned numerous times throughout the book his altercations with Afro American jazz musicians because of him being white. This was such a regular occurrence that Art developed a deep resentment towards black jazz musicians which did not subside until much later in Arts life after spending some years at San Quentin Correctional facility and sober houses. Art had a great resurgence in the 70's and he and the great black pianist, George Cables, collaborated on the majority of Arts output as a leader during his "comeback" period.
