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.

Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington THE COMPLETE LOUIS ARMSTRONG & DUKE ELLINGTON SESSIONS Louis Armstrong(trumpet, vocal), Duke Ellington(piano), Barney Bigard(clarinet), Trummy Young(trombone), Mort Herbert(bass), Danny Barcelona(drums) Roulette / Capitol 1961 / 1990 Notes: "...Forsaking his own famous big band, Ellington would take the place of pianist Billy Kyle with Louis Armstrong’s All Stars. Repaying the compliment, Armstrong would play a program consisting entirely of Ellington compositions. It was a case of noblesse oblige, the obligations being accepted with a generosity as refreshing to witness as it was rewarding in musical results." -- Stanley Dance Duke’s Place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcnYD3e7-h8 I’m Just A Lucky So And So https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZg_NHA-ewY Just Squeeze Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulURFfZuiSA Don’t Get Around Much Anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR6zoNDT-q4 Mood Indigo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl-0UZ1ysfU All 17 tracks are awesome!
