pjw, among others that I can’t remember I heard (Seventh Ave. South):
Breckers, Mike Manieri band, Steve Grossman, Woody Shaw, Mike Stern, Art Blakey with a very young Wynton Marsalis and my favorite show there, Joe Henderson.
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.

Plus 1 @mahgister Get a copy of the book "Clawing at the Limits of Cool". It details the synergy between the contrasting phrasing and improvisations of Miles and Coltrane and how they both inspired each other. Also details "the rhythm section" as they were named on an album by Art Pepper. Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section which is considered a "core album" for jazz aficionados. Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section - Wikipedia Miles thought that: Joe Chambers was as good on the bass as Charles Mingus and Oscar Pettiford... Philly Joe Jones was a junkie drummer but I liked the way he played... Red Garland use of block chords was perfect for what I wanted...

Thanks for the reply @frogman While I’m not a fan of YouTube’s sound quality and commercials, it’s absolutely amazing how much is out there! |
All great artists. A young Wynton, Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson stand out. Did you ever catch Steps Ahead? Btw I really like Branford Marsalis' Tenor playing. Not quite a virtuoso as Brecker but he was great at the post bop straight ahead jazz idiom. Have you heard his take on A Love Supreme? This is a favorite blu ray video of mine.
