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.

Did someone say favorite tenor players? https://youtu.be/C-o8EeITzYM https://youtu.be/7AZsYsVWJz8 https://youtu.be/NSkRxpF7nbw https://youtu.be/VBkiZdahsnc https://youtu.be/svoGEnDX95c So many more, so little time. So, what is “favorite” anyway? The absence of inclusion above of some of the acknowledged “greatests”, especially the mighty Coltrane might seem strange. I love them also and would acknowledge that they were indeed the greatest, in part on an intellectual level. However, some simply have a way of telling a story that for some reason is crystal clear TO ME and they always put a smile on my face. Btw, sorry for my absence. Very busy as work gets rolling again and other commitments. No Bay of Pigs aspirations, but hoping…….; and related to “other commitments”. Best to all and thanks pjw. A beast of a player and undoubtedly a favorite. https://youtu.be/QCOAvvumyWg |
