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: Cannonball Adderley -- BOHEMIA AFTER DARK This was originally a Kenny Clarke recording date, but the performance was so dominated by the the Adderley brothers, it is often reissued as a Cannonball date. Your chosen instrument is destiny? This is the first recording by the Adderley brothers after their arrival in NYC from Tampa. Talk about taking the place by storm! Recorded 1955. Notes: ......"These savoy classic masters, captured mere days after their arrival, testify and confirm their status among the Jazz elite. This is the sound of Jazz, circa 1955." bohemia after dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtVVeaQiCwE late entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e3bd7u2FzE hear me talkin’ to ya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXtjkHyf7Vo with apologies to oscar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE9MmUZHXBA l be together again (recorded 1956) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXNzgfA8zhg Cheers Cover art is so, not-Jazz. |
