Acman3, you are still on a roll; some great stuff posted; thanks. The Gary Burton clip is as much of a contrast with the Elvin Jones clip as is possible. One very intellectual and, as you said, more out there; the other (Jones) earthy and visceral. BTW, as I am sure you know, that was the same band as on the "Live At The Lighthouse" clip I posted a couple of days ago. Keep em coming.
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.

From one of my very favorite fusion records of the 70s: https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=rbynfCYDfuI&list=PL6uybVkHc-ES46u4tFtERWZKa9E_LZbv5 |
Yeah, very weird. New IPad arrives in a day or so; don't like the Kindle at all, it does strange things. I did find (think) that if one copy/paste the URL link into a new search it usually works. "Have you gone digital?" Horrors!!! No. Well, only when I have no choice for a recording I really want or need. I am using either a Shelter 901 or Acutex 420 STR, or Empire 4000D III, or Vandenhul, or.....what are you using? |
