Pat Martino's El Niño and Cisco?! This is some of the best stuff I've heard in a long, long time! I like anything, with a little Spanish Tinge...Thank you both - dearly...
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.

@acman3, Wow! Thanks! I see on wiki there many different version than the original 5 song album release. The 2001 Expanded Edition has total of 22 songs! Check it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tijuana_Moods ’Charlie’ Mingus. Lol!

@mahgister, I was surprised to find a total of 3, and you say there’s a 4th? Way cool... |
It’s good to see young folks not only playing jazz but coming to the shows and supporting the new artists. These are 2 videos of the same song with a whole lot of improvisation with at time, different band members. Chief Adjuah aka Christian Scott - West of the West |
Another young jazz lion...Robert Glasper - So Beautiful (Live At Capitol Studios) (Official Video) |
Someone posted a youtube Michael Brecker music audio a while back and I tried to find it but couldn’t. If anyone can find that link for me it would be much appreciated. As I mentioned in another thread I get a lot of ’new’ music here that I have never heard and that muscc audio is exactly what I was talking about and I like to bookmark them.

It was Michael Brecker - Tales From The Hudson - Man, thank you so much kind sir! Michael Brecker - The Mean Time - Is just icing on the cake.

A very unheralded guitar slanger that some may know and most know nothing about. Stanley Jordan plays Eleanor Rigby Stanley Jordan Trio - Return Expedition (Live in Montreal 1990) Les Paul & Stanley Jordan INSANE Jam

I finally got around to listening to the album. The album is called, (The) Robert Glasper Experiment - Black Radio 2 and it has 16 songs with Anthony Hamilton, Brandy, Common, Dwele, Emeli Sandé, Faith Evans, Jill Scott, Lalah Hathaway, Luke James, Lupe Fiasco, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Marsha Ambrosius, Norah Jones, Patrick Stump, as well as Bilal, Eric Roberson, Jazmine Sullivan, Jean Grae and Macy Gray appeared on a deluxe version of the album. That’s a lot of guest artists to put on 1 album and it sounds like it too, in a good way. I was very impressed with the musicianship. The young folks would consider it as Jazz as I think that is who it is targeted to. This album has a lot of ’meat on the bones’ and takes awhile to listen to with a fresh, up to date take on jazz. It’s definitely a keeper to be put in rotation. Robert Glasper Experiment · Black Radio 2 |
