I am enjoying the Amati G5’s and I almost have permission to max out the credit cards to get a pair!
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.

**** When I mentioned Canonball Aderly recording " Something Else" being a Miles recording, I was hopeful that the OP would pop up, because that was something he would not have let stand if he was around . Also, it's an awesome recording. **** We are on the same page, @acman3 . When I saw your previous post about this (awesome indeed) recording, I suspected that it was a veiled reference to the “bru ha ha” (the OP’s often used phrase) that ensued when I suggested that it was a Miles led session, in spite of the fact that Cannonball is credited as the leader. Our OP did not let it stand. My reasoning was that Cannonball was a new member of Miles’ band and one can hear Miles, not Cannon, speaking to and directing the proceedings. Not to mention, the prominent playing role that Miles has on the record. Contracts can be a funny thing. Anyway, I came back to post and to mention all this as an acknowledgment of the debt owed by all for the OP starting this thread and saw your last post. A lot of disagreement and more than a little drama over the years, but no denying that the OP loves/d this music and was very passionate about it. Best to him wherever he is. https://jazzdesk.wordpress.com/2021/03/20/the-leader-as-sideman/

@frogman , nice words...and yes, best to him, where ever hi is. Perhaps one day Rok will share his name, so that we can have one drink in his memory... Orpheus also liked lady vocals, do not know if we have ever mentioned this singer, but I just got this album and I like it...also, its very good sounding cd Betty Roche 'Lightly and Politely' https://www.allmusic.com/album/lightly-and-politely-mw0000619973
