These two links, I don't know if it's the musicianship and musicality or the musicality and the musicianship? This is killer stuff.
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.

Glad you like them, @tyray . Two of my favorite saxophone players. Different as could be and both great. |
On my turntable this morning a jazz album that has long been one of my favorites: Amarcord Nino Rota = I Remember Nino Rota (Interpretations Of Nino Rota's Music From The Films Of Federico Fellini) For Fellini fans or those with a European bent to their jazz. Personell include Jaki Byard, Bill Frisell, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Kenny Barron, and many more. A taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJXz7CQ3xVk&list=PLwGTKZ6uNxXkUb4E3nR6K6Sz0F1gUHGP0&index=2 |
