nsp, I am fortunate to own that LP, and the tune you posted is my favorite on that album.
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.

This is absolutely the best time to be a jazz aficionado; "You Tube" gives us so many choices that we were unaware of, like this "Carmell Jones" for example; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHCfcDQUYPI During my most active collection period, I missed out on some of the best West Coast players, now I have to play "catch up". |
Nsp,one that first John Patton clip, one of the sax players is Fred Jackson. I have mentioned him long time ago, but since we are always repeating some music after all, guess nobody will object. He recorded two albums as a leader, of which one was issued, but both can be found on cd edition of 'Hootin N Tootin' album, from 1962. https://youtu.be/nhW5nAyWGw4 https://youtu.be/EJV4fDQigAU https://youtu.be/-lH7Eq2bq3c He also recorded with Baby Face Willette, I think thats how he ge the chance to record album as a leader. https://youtu.be/QXmidrngYnU Unfortunately, he did not get any success, and he has disappered from scene. Perhaps somebody knows more about him? My previous font also dissapered....have no idea how and why.... |
Mary-jo, I posted this album sometime ago before you joined us, so I decided to post it again for you and anyone who hasn't heard it. This is one of the first albums I ever purchased; it's by Johnny Smith on guitar, and features three tenors; Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, and Paul Quinichette. There is not one bad cut on the entire album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRNpc-hFkCs |
’Big’ John Patton – Spiffy Diffy, great! *** Thank you Orpheus for Johnny Smith, I appreciate it and really like it. Impossible to fail with such great players. : ) *** Fred Jackson, Teena Hootin’ `N Tootin’, huh, thumbs up. As if the instrument cries, it makes me sad. Such a good music. You all are not normal. Not. But who wants to be normal? And what is normal after all. Wish you nice afternoon with the good music by your side. I surely know what I will listen today. |
