I’ve been a Chesky fan for years! All of his recordings are first rate and some make my soundstage grow well beyond my speakers.
Have you heard The Hi-Fi Collective?
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.

Hiromi Uehara is releasing a new album October 6th 2023!! Sonicwonder is the title and she will be at Sony Hall in NYC for an "album release show" on Friday October 13 and Saturday 14. I already purchased tickets. Hiromi has a new 3 piece band backing her. See here: Hiromi’s Sonic Wonder - 6/24/23 CBJF, Wilmington DE - YouTube

I know I am probably (based on threads history) the only fan of Hiromi Uehara here on JFA but I did not expect all of the esteemed jazz aficionados here, who have been posting regularly all week, to "tune out" upon seeing my Hiromi post... Anyway... There has been a lot of talk about trumpet players recently with many of the greats being mentioned. Everybody here knows (from thread history) that Clifford Brown is my favorite trumpet player after the great Mr. Louis Armstrong. The Clifford Brown Max Roach Quintet was described by the New York Times as "perhaps the definitive bop group until Mr. Brown's fatal automobile accident in 1956". Here are a few standouts from their repertoire: With Harold Land on tenor sax (2) Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Joy Spring - YouTube (2) Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet - Daahoud - YouTube (2) Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Delilah - YouTube Sonny Rollins on tenor sax (2) I'll Remember April - Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street - YouTube More with Sonny Rollins on Rollins' album Sonny Rollins Plus 4. This is essentially the same quintet but recorded and released with Rollins as the leader. |
