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.

@curiousjim A couple pages back I posted that Clifford Brown is my favorite trumpet player, second only to Louis Armstrong. A great box set to have (I do) is this one from 1989 titled "Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings Of Clifford Brown" The sonics are great (mono) for a remaster over 30 years ago and the music represents some of the greatest jazz played covering 10 CDs, from August of 1954 through Clifford’s untimely death on June 26 1956 It covers 3 recording sessions with 3 of the greatest jazz vocalists of the time, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaugan, and Helen Merrill. A lot of incendiary live concerts are also represented which are also very good sonically for live recordings from the 50s. A review from Discogs:
I happen to love alternate takes with all jazz music as the improvised solos are never played the same way more then once. Of course all of the superlative Clifford Brown Max Roach Quintet sessions are represented The box set is a little costly now but I have inserted a Spotify link to the complete set. The sonics on Spotify are very good indicating they used the 1989 remaster and if you like it but want hi res I would think it should be available on Qobuz. Enjoy!!
