frogman, it’s me Tammy’s trying to help me post a you tube video with the video itself without seeing just the URL. Sorry guys.

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.

It’s a pain, and inconsistent. I have a feeling that it is different depending on what device one is using. For me and my iPad, I hit the “share” tab of the YouTube video and, as before, paste unto the JFA post before submitting. The funny thing is, and what I finally figured out, is that when you paste the YouTube link to your post (before actually submitting) a window appears that states “Video Not Available, Go to YouTube to watch”. HOWEVER, go ahead and hit “Post Your Response” anyway and the correct link with image will post. Weird! It gets really interesting when I try to add a second (or more) video to the same post (before submitting). Any video after the first, I have to hit “share” on the YouTube video, but now when I try and add it to the post, after several attempts and if I’m lucky I MAY get a small window showing the video’s URL and then hit the “Add” tab that also appears. Personally, I much prefer the old method with just the URL, no image. Good luck. |

Anybody listened to the new John Coltrane "A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle" recording on their stereo system yet? I was all ready, and excited to purchase it, when I read a couple of reviews saying the recording quality was quite poor. Both said the Coltrane's and Pharoah Sander's horns sounded like they were either muffled or being played another room, while Elvin Jones drumming was much too prominent in comparison.. Their recommendation was don’t waste your money, Another person said it was great and not to be missed. Mike

In the words of James Brown, you’re ’doing it to death’...I had known about the Doug Carn releases on black jazz records featuring also his wife at the time Jean Carn, but you’ve just - masterfully I might add, opened me ears and mind to digging the entire catalog I did not know about. WOW!

Red Garland SOUL JUNCTION Prestige Records 1957 / 2007 "I remember the sessions well, I remember how the musicians wanted to sound, and I remember their reactions to the playbacks. Today, I feel strongly that I am their messenger." -- Rudy van Gelder I can't decide who is worst, this guy or Granz. Soul Junction Hallelujah Birk's Works

Some timely suggestions @acman3 , i just happened on Lionel Loueke yesterday. Spotify has its moments :-) One fantastic live recording i found and would like to contribute is Houston Person Live in Paris. It satisfies musically and from an engineering perspective. |
I hope you guys are all safe, terrible news are coming from USA, tornadoes and storms travelling across the state. :--( But nature can exist without us and we surely cannot exist without nature... Are we, between the beauty of the dawn and the sunset, doomed to suffer? If yes, at least that doesn’t happen in the silence. We have music. Stormy weather in our hearts, sometimes, no less turbulent: |
