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.

«Well if I could play like Wynton, I wouldn’t play like Wynton.» Now reading this quote by Chet Baker about Wynton Marsallis, i imagine that each one of these 4 great musicians will say the same thing about each others... The reason for this is certainly expressed the best by the late Quincy Jones : « Excellence isn't an act, it's a habit

is this jazz being improvisation or classical being scripted? https://x.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1853683665647124680

This video is a bit contorted expression of a truth : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrp-2JPSoYE One commentary under it give a gist of it : «The problem with modern jazz is that, to a considerable extent, it is being written and performed by college professors instead of drug addicts.»
I am myself not a musician and not competent to give my opinion. But i like the less virtuosity and i love the best expression. Also i listen more with my heart than with my brain. It is perhaps why i love Chet Baker and Bill evans so much... Or Armstrong and Miles Davis before some point in time. Also i like some european and Japan jazz...Paradoxically because it is a bit away from jazz roots...
