One thing is for certain, I didn't make up the one and only "Frogman"!
Enjoy the music.
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.

Rok, "Radiant Warmth" was the first CD I bought by Mari Boine; these are the "Wicki" facts on that CD; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Boine And here is the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBypIxiieEU It was released in 1996, she was almost foxy then; there seems to be some kind of disease called "chunkitis" that ladies catch that makes them look "chunky"; but her music has gotten even better. There is no better way to communicate than posting links, which I established at the beginning of this thread; that says it all, argue with "Wicki" or "you tube" if you don't like it. Enjoy the music. |
