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.

So, I gotta share this with y’all. This is in reference to an audiogon forum posting from: And to responding and researching this forum post, I found this very copacetic (or is it copesthetic?) website. Check it out: Roy DuNann, Engineer - From - The The Skeptical Audiophile - In Search of Better Records Apparently, this Roy DuNann of Contemporary Records was a master recording engineer. And also apparently the above site, has a plethora of master recordings of some stone cold jazz for y’all to check out. Scroll all the way down to the bottom to see all the records. @acman3, I got some ’spanish tinged’ jazz music ’backatya’ that’s swinging pretty darn hard! Barney Kessel from the album ’Carmen’ ’Out of print Barney Kessel album. Swingin’ interpretation of the Georges Bizet opera with stellar performances, featuring André Previn on keys. This is ripped from the original 1959 UK Mono pressing.’
Side 1 0:00 Swingin’ the Toreador 05:51 Pad on the Edge of Town 12:36 If You Dig Me 16:40 Free As A Bird Side 2 21:36 Viva El Toro! 24:52 Flowersville 30:52 Carmen’s Cool 35:34 Like, There’s No Place Like... 39:35 The Gypsy’s Hip
