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.

@stuartk If you dont have the Dizzy Gillespie Sonny Side Up LP I highly recommend it. Give it a listen on Spotify first before spending on the LP.... All 4 songs are great but The Eternal Triangle and After Hours are desert island songs for me... You can clearly hear the smoother tone Stitt has on his tenor compared to Rollins on his. The opening features the two tenors playing the same notes as one then Rollins solos first from 0:40 - 2:55 then Stitt jumps in to solo. Throughout they play as one at times while exchanging solos and Dizzy jumps in as well in a blistering pace... The Eternal Triangle - YouTube Blues at its best

Sonny Rollins, Right behind Coltrane. Favorites/ All definitetly essential-- Stuark, we can be friends, but I have gotten rid of girlfriends for less.😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W9OG1PVOnc

I agree those 3 Rollins albums are a must have and would be on the desert island list...Elvin Jones plays drums on the evening set at the Village Vanguard. Another desert Island set Coltrane with Eric Dolphy India (Live From Village Vanguard/November 1,1961) - YouTube |
