Nice accounts, ps; thanks for those. Btw, this year marks what would have been the great Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday. Lots of his music being performed everywhere this year.
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.

that is one of the most ridiculous comments I have read in this forum; second only to a recent comment about the irrelevance of Sonny Rollins.***** No, No, No and finally NO. The most ridiculous statement ever posted on this forum, or any other forum in the Alpha Quadrant, was this: "As Composers go, Stravinsky ranks right up there with Mozart". It don't get more ridiculous than that. I can't recall the person that posted that monstrosity. Can I get some help with that, folks? Your advice to 'Read up on the Subject', always amuses me. We are to read the writings of the very people who are the guilty parties in the first place, in order to get at the truth. FTW!! Cheers |
A couple of pretty good musical examples and demonstration of African rhythm in jazz for anyone who cares. I guess Wynton doesn’t know what he’s talking about after all 😊 https://youtu.be/bkyOFkBAMDg https://youtu.be/w3XsrJpaUXI |
