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.

What am I missing?***** As Usual, everything. ***** Not meaning to argue **** Of course you are. That statement ranks right up there with "it's not about the Money". ***** Making a judgment without explaining is simple opinion; no? ***** Making a judgement with or without explanation, is opinion. The Supreme Court hands down 'Opinions'. BTW, Explaining something does not change what it is.. I think it's possible, in the middle of playing improvised music, to play a few notes that have been played before in the same order in another popular tune. Intention would depend on the length of the passage played. A few notes might be an unintentional, subconscious 'quote', too many notes, and you are playing Mona Lisa. Cheers |
Well gee, Rok, thank you for the reasoned and intelligent response. I realize that the concept may be completely foreign to you, but I really have no interest in arguing with you; simply trying to make sense of the non-sensical. ****I think it’s possible, in the middle of playing improvised music, to play a few notes that have been played before in the same order in another popular tune.

If you care to have reasonable and intelligent dialogue about this subject let me know. |
1979: Live concert of the reunion of the classic Miles band from the 60's with Freddie Hubbard taking the place of Miles. The audience reaction is remarkable. Amazing musicians: https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLUSRfoOcUe4a_x1oeCQ7bBDAXjUcuGCta¶ms=EAEYATgBSAFYAmILbUh4e... |
VSOP Live made me think of this; one of my favorite live jazz recordings. One of the most gorgeous and evocative jazz tenor tones ever. Stan Getz paired with Bill Evans makes sense in many ways; introspective, soft tone and emphasis on creating beautiful melodies when improvising. Great record: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xh3IMWzF_s |
