Always just comes down to personal taste I guess.
Just change the record and listen to something else you like. All Good.

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.

Not a bad recording. Sound is not over sweet like normal CTI. It is 1973 and Herbie is playing electric, but pretty good. Also, Dejohnette is his normal awesome. https://www.allmusic.com/album/in-concert-vols-1-2-mw0000649573 |
Clark Terry and Bob Brookmeyer should work. Nice record! Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IyFZ1kdbLs |
Why all the angst? Â Have you ever heard Frogman play Free Jazz? He leans toward a traditional preference on Jazz, in case you haven't noticed, but seems to have an open mind on most Jazz. One of the reasons you listen to Jazz is to go to the fun memories you have of the day. No music takes me back to those days, only today and tomorrow, so we listen for different reasons which you will never get. I'm not looking for comfort, but interesting music, to me. Great if you or others enjoy it. Play what you like, and move on. Disregard what you don't understand. Negative comments are cool, I know where you are coming from. Â I will now go back to playing music. Most of all have some fun. Life is way too short! Â |
