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.

I understand that something is missing by what you are looking for, but how in the world can you say his audience knows something is missing? Please read the comments and you will find out what his audience thinks of his playing. 90 unsolicited fans, making comments like best ever and next level. The reason in the past we have used quotes from Jazz musicians to verify our stance is they are from musicians who were actually playing with the musicians we are discussing . These people who were there should be better witnesses than us speculating 70 years later. |
Love the Woody Shaw! "Stepping Sones " should be in every Jazz fans collection. Mary Jo, all forms of government work as long as the government is benevolent to the people. All forms of government fail because we as a species are selfish. This should be interesting. A little blues to start the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3ZQoRHwL0 |
Alex, I also became bored with Rock which started me into Jazz. Especially drums for some reason. First stop was current guitar monsters of Jazz. Yes, it is Jazz, but also a gateway. Welcome Rubent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsqRtJog1l4 |
