Here is a Spiritual Jazz album that I have on constant rotation:
Philip Cohran & the Artistic Heritage Ensemble - On The Beach (1968)

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.

@mahgister I am glad you are enjoying Herbie Hancock’s 60’s output on Blue Note! Hancock was also a member of the Miles Davis Quintet from 1963 - 1968 and played on ESP (1965), Miles Smiles (1967), and Nefertiti (1968) another one of my favorite jazz albums. He also did the soundtrack to the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film “Blow-Up”.

@pjw81563 I couldn’t agree more! |
Here are my two favorites from Sun Ra. I have both of these titles on a single CD. Angels and Demons at Play https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kyWMotl9H9oM0TXHPuqHwbWXWYyEtdMl8&si=witeb1Y4B5rItaBX The Nubians of Plutonia https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGX_iebp2Prk18FG7qp_rw2gTBmNWAKSB&si=QlbO-mU-rc3CG8vv
