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.

Not that simple. Depends on what exactly about the various “things” you are talking about, There is a lot of commonality in all music in spite of the obvious differences. Those who don’t get that are just scratching the surface; it’s much easier (and comforting) the other way. pjw, I’ll comment on the guitarists a little later today. Why apologize? Well said. |
pjwThat KOB influence on D Allman is amazing!It shows the far reaching influence many jazz greats had on other genres of music. Big fan of original Allman Bros. I saw them early 70's fo r $2.00 per ticket at Stony Brook University. They were tightAnd stole the show. In my top 5 for rock concerts. My favorite cut: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UZE9Elp6uAE |
Remember The Sabbath and keep it free of unholy noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elucuKKfda0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOKHyGtorXQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvhqVTg0b3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaqvctUxh-c Cheers |
Alex you presented this album, and I bought it; this album projects the mood and feel of these places (63rd and Cottage Grove, 45th and Calumet, La Salle street) when I was a teenager exploring them. This is the power of music; John Wright projected these streets in his music so well, that you could re-experience strolling down them once again; they were among the the hippest streets in Chicago, but now, they only exist in the memories of people who lived there at that time, and enjoyed life as it was lived on those streets. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+wright+south+side+soul The comments below this concur with my thoughts about this album, and that part of Chicago at that time. |
