Can’t overlook Charlie Haden while talking great bass players!

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.

Indeed. And I knew I had a couple Lovano trio CDs and found this in my collection: https://youtu.be/wOE2v9Yegos?si=6q_HY1Fx8yB3kE8F and this: |
@acman3 , as the joke goes, man must first take ginkgo pills, to remember where his viagra pills are...
That clip of Sun Ra, that you posted recently, the composer is Phil Cochran. Thought that you are posting to tell me that you are aware of him. It does not matter, as I've said, he is new to me as well. I even do not know where I stumbled on his music, perhaps even in some movie, as I've used Shazam app to see who is playing. I think we have already mentioned that Bosch series had some nice jazz music in the background and Woody Allen is also known for it. Here is a Nat Adderley album that I know Woody used once (now, don ask me in which movie, but I know that was one of his more recent ones...I might need ginkgo too) 'A little New York Midtown Music' from 1979. https://youtu.be/GCfHiHglsD4?si=5EVb86WRFY0YEpvp
