acman3 nice clip of JC at age 26 shredding that tenor. The guy on alto is pretty darn good too!

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.

Schubert was this the drummer In JC's band when you saw them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U7gMDfrUNc I'm asking because his usual drummer for his organ trio and other projects going back 15 or so is Leonard King and not Alexander White who is on the kit in the first link JC with Leonard King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBJDuzovq7U JC also has another band called the Elektrik Outlet which is the group playing at the Blue Note next month and features Alexander White on drums. Funny thing is when I saw JC at Birdland back in April as the James Carter Organ Trio he had White replacing Leonard King on the kit that night also and the billing for the show listed Leonard King as the drummer. Maybe King was feeling under the weather or something. Elektrik Outlet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX7wX5aQ3bE |
81563 , I'm 99% sure it was White , had no hat on but was about his build with close cropped hair .Sure wasn’t long haired Leonard and was younger . I had heard Leonard before but never seen either guy . Both can sure play . Was few minutes late with parking , if there were intros I didn’t hear them and was way back anyhow .Still was fun .

Schubert here is JC's organ trio with Branford Marsalis and here its definitely Leonard King on the kit. A great performance by both of these saxophone masters! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwn8zskWw3U |
