Very, very good straight ahead jazz.
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.

Great stuff, Alex. What a nice feel that Trio had! For me, there’s always two things that set Roy Haynes apart from a lot of drummers. He had the ability to solo in such a way that one could always “feel/ hear” the pulse of the music; as if the bass player were still playing behind his solo.. His solos always fit the composition. Many drummers solo and one very quickly gets the feeling that they are going into a different musical zone away from that of the tune. Roy Haynes also had the amazing ability to play in a variety of styles very convincingly. In Alex’s great clip he shows his Swing background and with that great feel. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kVRzddQFvRgfEQvoNfBxbn1xN_RUpCJf8&si=Wcb2klEcxruglfIk Chick Corea - piano Miroslav Vitous - bass Roy Haynes - drums |

I went digging thru my cd's, remembered afterwards that I could consult kind people from google. Anyway, Roy Haynes recorded two more albums with Phineas Newborn jr.(that I have) but with different bass player (John Simmons instead of Paul Chambers) 'Piano portraits' https://youtu.be/L2FxHFaCmfo?feature=shared 'I love a piano' |
Thanks @alexatpos for the Phineas Newborn JR. I definitely enjoy most all of his work. |
