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.

We know about Land, but Listen to the trumpet player! Dupree Bolton. |
1st song from this album. 1981 is the year, I believe.

Stuart, there are thee recent ECM recordings of Carla Bley, Andy Shepard, and Steve Swallow. All are must haves. The older songs with legs is also very good.

I would not ,at my age, force myself to listen to music I don't like. In the past I have listened to music til I got it. Not anymore. When I said I liked Zorn, I only had 10 or so recordings I have collected over the years on CD. They have now released everything he has put out. Over 200 records. I doubt I love everything he has done, especially with him being so adventurous. Good on y'all for giving him a chance. My brother wants me to go with him to see Jr. Brown. I'm not going. I 've seen him and for some reason he wears on me. It Happens. |
