Rok, you asked me what kind of music I liked besides jazz, well occasionally I get religion and want to go to Saturday Night Church; this is what it's all about.

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.

Normally I own all the CDs I 'review'. These are exceptions. But not for long. High quality Video, Audio and Performances. I recommend anything by Bebo Valdes. I Discovered Diego El Cigala thru BBC music magazine article. He and Bebo are awesome together, as is Bebo and Chucho Valdes. These guys are 'serious' musicians. No jeans with holes in the knees here. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJGPlSrbUbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzKhwmFq6jM Cheers |
Rok, how about this religion; it's the same in Africa, Brazil, Haiti, or New Orleans, we talking about drums on fire, this is Babatunde Olatunji. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWeDev0QWLc Enjoy the music. |
Olatunji: Now that's a blast from the past. I have that tune on his 'Drums of Passion' CD. I listened to him back in my Dylan, Baez, Saint-marie, (the young have all the answers) Phase. The drumming is good. I just get tired, and quickly, of the repetitive chant. Esp since I have not a clue as to what he is saying. Cheers |
