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.

O10 I'm at your service. Chico Hamilton's "Man From Two Worlds" is a very good album and "Forest Flower" is my favorite song on it. A few months ago I picked up a 3 CD set titled "Chico Hamilton and Eric Dolphy the Complete Studio Recordings" and I liked it so much I decided to buy one album from before the Hamilton/Dolphy period of the late 50's which features Buddy Collette on sax and flute and one after the H/D period with Charles Lloyd taking the sax flute chair and the one I bought was "Man From Two Worlds" On all of the material I mentioned above there is great "interplay" between the guitarist and the sax/flute. Buddy Collette/Jim Hall, Charles Lloyd/Gabor Szabo, and Eric Dolphy/John Pisano. Here is the Hamilton/Collette album I have. It is a 24 bit remaster on CD. HAMILTON, CHICO QUINTET - Complete Studio Recordings + Bonus Tracks - Amazon.com Music And a song from it. (3) Chico Hamilton Quintet - Blue Sands - YouTube |
O-10, please take a chill pill. It remains a mystery to me why it is that you find it so necessary to be unnecessarily negative and provocative at times. I offered a perfectly reasonable possible reason for why you may have been unaware of Jerry Dodgion. You later asked for an honest assessment from ALL here of something you posted and I gave it. I didn’t like it. Honest assessment; nothing more, nothing less. You then asked for an assessment from ME specifically about another clip. I liked it; nothing more, nothing less. You then asked for another assessment from ALL here of a different recording; and, NO, you did not ask me or pjw specifically for comment. Yet, somehow you find it to be some sort of personal affront that twelve mostly NIGHTIME (!!!) hours later I have not responded? Are you serious? Are we under obligation to respond according to your time line; or, respond at all? Really?! I will offer a couple of comments in the interest of being “cordial” and will abstain from writing what I might write had I not had my morning coffee yet 🤔: 1. If you want a speedier response from any one of us, try addressing that person, or persons, specifically in your request. 2. If being cordial is really a priority for you and you want to set an example of the sort of protocol that meets your personal lofty standards of forum behavior, try responding/commenting YOURSELF to a clip that was offered in response to yours; AS I DID (Bobby Hutcherson, “Jerry on flute”). IOW, try leading by example. 3. Re my horrible lack of response to your clip: May I remind you that it was I who first posted “Forest Flower” (or, any Charles Lloyd for that matter) here years ago. That should be enough response and indication of how I feel about the recording. Classic recording. (Btw, sometime later you yourself posted “Forrest Flower” claiming it was Buddy Collette on tenor; but that’s a different story). So, let’s try and be a bit more truly “cordial”. Shall we? Peace. |
