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.

pryso, Mahler is certainly not to everyone’s tastes; not all his works are favorites of mine either. However, Das Lied is without a doubt one of the greatest orchestral works. I don’t know who the performers you heard were, but since you seem to be Mahler curious you owe it to yourself to hear a great rendition at least once. If you get a chance check these out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsaBW0gXwADeVz15u904MIx91hgFcLe-c https://youtu.be/idRevTkIPts |
Today’s Listen: Dick Hyman -- MUSIC OF 1937 Maybeck Recital Hall Series, Volume Three Good booklet. "Maybeck Recital Hall was designed by famous Berkeley architect Bernard Maybeck in 1914 to be used as a recital Hall and instruction site. A small performance area (25 by 30 feet), it has a high, vaulted ceiling, rubbed wood paneling throughout (mostly redwood, some oak) and seating capacity of about 50......amplification is never used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcWw3bIxcWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6HF-8dgjRM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD1osk4lkZ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHpWorwczAE Mr Hyman appears to be a virtuoso on the piano.
