@tyray, a third album that I think of as kind of a set with "First Light" and "Red Clay" is Milt Jackson's "Sunflower" with Hubbard playing trumpet, also Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Billy Cobham.

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.

Dizzy, 'Bahiana' album https://youtu.be/4LUK1VAk7ww?feature=shared Laurindo Almeida and Bud Shank 'Brazziliance' |
@stuartk No big deal it was all AI. |
@alexatpos, a bit of a sidestep into the "classical" world, but staying in Brazil. Hector VillaLobos was a Brazillian street musician as well as Brazil's most famous classical composer. His Preludes for guitar have all of the duende of the streets and Laurindo Almeida plays them absolutely beautifully with more depth of feeling than I've heard from any other guitarist. |
@audio-b-dog, The first time I heard of Tania Maria it was the song Don’t Go - 1985(?) which was a minor hit in the states, she sung in english and the song was very very funky and at the time when it came to Brazilian artists I was listening to only Brazilian artists on US labels such as Airto Moreira, Eumir Deodato and Flora Purim, to name a few.Then in the early 2000’s I wanted to visit Brazil and started to listen to Brazilian based recordings to help with my learning of Portuguese and the culture of Brazil so Tania Maria’s music wasn’t something I listened to because I was listening to what would be described as her musical heroes from Brazil who had much older recordings that I was fascinated with. Artist like Candeia, Cartola and Os Tincoãs, to name a few. I was trying to find the essence of Brazilian music without any US influence, if you will. Real ’old school’ Brazilian music. As I said in an earlier post, I had it real bad in those days.Here is a video of the artists Os Tincoãs with their daughters of a song originally released in 1973(?) Mateus Aleluia e Thalma de Freitas - Cordeiro de Nanã | Compacto Petrobras. In this song they are singing to the deities in Candomblé, Orixás: Iansã , Obaluaê and Iemanjá. At the time I was trying to find and understand the root(s) of Brazilian music. This is a beautiful song straight out of and from the Recôncavo Baiano region of Bahia, Brazil.Now this album here, Vinicius + Bethânia + Toquinho - La Fusa (Mar del Plata) (1971) I’ve always liked this black and white album and thought it was a tour de force by the three artists together.@alexatpos, Outstanding music! You’ve posted something I can surely sink my teeth into! Thanks!
