This sounds like Monk in his most abstract mood and Pharoah Sanders; I think Sun Ra is mostly an acquired taste.
Acman, your tastes seem to be quite similar to one of my best friends; who I still love, but can't quite grasp his taste in music.
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.

Sun Ra sounds like Monk and Ellington to me. As far as my taste in music, I only like good music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRVfvHFSN-A |
When this VHS tape that I have was made, Sun Ra and his merry band all lived in a huge house in Philadelphia that was done up in the style of the ancient Egyptians. They had a lot of fun and made a good living; who could ask for more? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ioFrtlNXZk |
frogman thanks for posting that Amazing Grace by Wynton. It made my day. Its amazing that simple hymn, within the context of all the complex music all over the world from classical to blues, from blues to jazz and rock and hip hop, is, and always will be one of the greatest statements of humanity It is never to late to change your life and be humbled to rise above no matter what your religious beliefs may be.
’Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear, Through many dangers, toils, and snares The Lord has promised good to me. When we’ve been there ten thousand years |
