OP,
You have certainly seen a lot of the greats. I envy you.
Cheers
I did see Telly Savalas once at Dulles airport. :)

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.

From today’s F-150 usb sticks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mKqX1I91K0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jW8d88SPM8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUSuj1yMW2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvMteHdpMCI It is raining in Texas. Cheers |
Rok, let me set this up so you can thoroughly understand it. My favorite watering hole was owned by someone who entertained in Vegas at one time, and had worked with Maynard Ferguson; they were good friends, plus, the club was close to the hotel where Maynard was working and staying. The club was dim, and Maynard and his party came in the same as any other revelers on the weekend (unannounced). It wasn't until the challenge that I knew who he was, which is just they way they wanted it. They were there to party, not to attract attention. |
