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 , I must admit that I have very few jazz albums that are not recorded at least 50 or more years ago, but Pelt is great player. In fact, its on these pages I have heard of him first. I do not use streamers and I try to buy every album that I like. Needles to say, the ones I am still looking for to fill my collection are getting harder to find are more expensive, even on cd’s. If I waned to have them on vinyl I would need a small fortune for that. There is one rare Chet Baker album that I am looking right now and its 100eur, for cd. Its just that ’owning’ music ’on cloud’ is something that I cant grasp, for whatever reason that might be. Its same with the books, I guess, I go to library, but there are many that I just like to have at home. I am not ’old’, I guess (52) but perhaps some of my habits are not in the tune with modern times. Anyway...song from an great album that I bought recently... Sonny Stitt ’Last Sessions’ from 1984 https://youtu.be/JYZlVltPAMM?feature=shared
Does anybody else thinks that is funny to see so many jazz recommendations when ever some other thread about it shows up and yet, none of those people posts here?
