Much better, but is it fair to use a quote from a man so obviously struggling with Low T?
I guess I can stop waiting on the next Buckshot Lefonque record.

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.

Today's Listen: Oscar Peterson & Jon Faddis One of a series of recordings of Peterson with Trumpet players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhLXJWgB5CI Love the playing. Not sure I love Faddis' tone. It's said he plays like Dizzy. I think that's Dizzy's tone also. Cheers |
Frogman, this might interest you. I was at the MN Orch. concert tonight, finally got to hear the great Gil Shaham and his Strad in the Korngold Vn. Cnt., a work I like but never heard live. The orchestra President came out on stage and announced the Minnesota will be the first American orchestra to play in Cuba, two concerts in Havana mid-May at the time of the Cuban Grammy equivalent . |
Rok, Faddis is actually much better known for his "screech" playing, his lead trumpet playing in big bands. That Peterson record he did is a rare opportunity to hear him in that sort of setting. Another recording he sounds fantastic on is Leonard Bernstein's recording of West Side Story that he did in the 80s with the opera singers singing the leads. It is worth listening to just to hear Faddis play the dance band stuff. |
