Thanks for the Diego Figueiredo. I really enjoyed that!
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.

This was the Donald Byrd stuff I was introduced to as a kid. It was basically radio FM friendly jazz/funk/soul hanging out at the park and riding music. With that big Larry and ’Fonce’ Mizell production sound. And as I got older, I later discovered Donald Byrd’s hard core jazz stuff. Incidentally, Donald Byrd’s son and I grew up together. Donald Byrd • Black Byrd • 1973 Donald Byrd • Street Lady • 1973 Donald Byrd • Places And Spaces • 1975 Donald Byrd • Stepping Into Tomorrow • 1975 And here’s flautist Bobbi Humphrey – Bobbi Humphrey’s Best who was also produced by and with that big Mizell Brother’s production sound. That Grant Green Alive! album is probably my favorite one of his! Thank you for introducing me to ’Liquid Soul’! And that Grant green Funk in France album got by me as I’ve never heard it before! Again thanks! And Bobby Hutchison’s ’The Kicker’ from 1963 was just killing the game back then. Translation, it was a very good thing! It reminds me of a Kansas City Swing style of playing and rhythms. About those Knickerbockers, I didn’t see the last game but I watched the entirety of that 29 point come from behind game win as I was glued to the tv....Alicia Keys - New York State of Mind - Empire State of Mind
