Thanks frogman...
What is the album title you can recommend ?
Usually thought of as a curiosity and certainly a rarity, few have been able to coax so much expression out of this most unwieldy saxophone:
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.

Scott Robinson is a true musical genius, revered by musicians as one of the most “commercially unsung” heroes of the NYC music scene. His musical palette is so wide ranging that I hesitate to recommend any one recording of his because they are each so different and while one might appeal to Sun Ra fans, another might appeal to fans of Louis Armstrong’s Hot Jazz recordings. An amazing multi instrumentalist who can sound fantastic on any saxophone including rare and obsolete variants, trumpet, trombone, theramin (!) and more. A lot of his work as a sideman is available on YouTube. The following clips will give some insight into this amazing and eclectic musician. https://youtu.be/8FQRAZPeOTg?si=FnwerA2FKoYjNrc2 https://youtube.com/shorts/PgZbfhTnQaI?si=ze47DkUScChVmyKj https://youtube.com/shorts/QSLE9SJpdb8?si=0xo_Q3rAiShbaI0j https://pirecordings.com/artists/scott-robinson/

@audio-b-dog @stuartk @acman3, If not for you guys I would have never found out about the ECM recordings of chick corea - return to forever and some of those by Ralph Towner.
So here’s something for you guys. There maybe some nuggets still worth prospecting.
