Rok, how about a little hip 70's violin?

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.

With the addition of "Fusion", musical genres had gotten so blurred, that I left it to others for definition; is it rock fused with jazz, or jazz fused with rock; at the end of the day, what do you call it? I quit trying to define the music, and simplified everything with one of two categories, "Like, and don't like". These cuts sounded all right to me. I wonder if "Learsfool" can boogie to this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MFbn8EbB4k I kind of like the beat on this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgiS0Pr3BX8 I just might catch this train; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2It6_FGJXw Enjoy the music. |
Sunao Wada, japanese selfthought guitar player, I guess you will not find many info about him, but never the less, you should take a listen. The album is from 1977.and aldo the title says 'Blues, blues, blues' its jazz, jazz. No fusion, no noise makers, if there is any concerne... http://youtu.be/PjpWi3WdPto http://youtu.be/myoGF3QYElE |
O-10: Don't get me started on Disco. They could have been the only folks in the 70's that knew what they were doing. It was as big or bigger in Europe as anywhere, and I was right there. Oh, the memories!! I'll call your 5th of Beethoven, and raise you this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7EfnYwpmOE Cheers |
O-10: Jean Luc Ponty: I think most Jazz musicians try to play what they feel inside of them. Like in Nica's book, many just wished they could play what was in their head. That makes for good Jazz. Original and creative Jazz. MY IMPRESSION is that music like this, is made up as they play it. It's not inside anyone's head. It's like they are saying, "let's try this and see how it sounds". One critic once said about Sergei Rachmaninoff, "All his music sounds like Movie Theme Music". I stopped buying his stuff after I read that. :) Some things just stick The Ponty music comes across to my ear as Mood music. It's meant to put a person in a certain modd, or to sound interesting and unique, but you cannot remember it after the performance is over. You can't walk around with this stuff in your head, or sing/hum it. It's for the moment only. But, it was not bad. I just couldn't get into it. And that could be MY problem, and not Ponty's music.
