I'm glad you liked that Rok. There is something special about some hometown artists that I can't put into words; I guess it's because they were born drinking the same Mississippi river water, and eating the same food, that enables them to better communicate with me, but whatever it is, I really like Mardra, and Reggie Thomas.
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.

I have not seen anyone post the great Chris Potter playing on this thread since I started participating so I though I would throw this spectacular live clip out there. Dave Holland doing his thing behind Chris never stops smiling! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gqgdE4qZGg |
Inna, you confused me, and you were confused by the picture on the album cover; Ray Nance is a guy; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Nance Nevertheless, you have observed something, very few aficionados are aware of. |
