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.

Thanks @rok2id On lazy Saturday mornings, I usually pick an artist and play album after album until either I can get my butt in gear or my wife gets on me to play someone else. |

This post is for all my acquaintances here on JFA although we have never met and the frogman elaborated on this subject on the previous page we are all friends or acquaintances, somewhat at least. I had been in the construction field as a residential house framer for 35 years but decided the physical part of that work was to much for a man in his 50s quickly approaching 60 so 3 years ago I graduated a local CDL school and started driving tractor trailers. The pay is good although I made more as a framing sub contractor I have gladly taken the pay cut (not too much) for the less physically demanding job of driving a semi. I am approaching retirement and will be moving from NY to North Carolina and I can get a driving job down there no problem. I currently live on Long Island NY and my property tax is almost 1000,00 per month and thanks to the Biden administration home fuel heating oil has doubled this year (I just paid 1456,00 to fill up my 280 gallon tank) and this will only last me 2 months so around Christmas I need to fill up again. A small house for my wife and I in NC will be around 100.00 per month in property tax and Winter is way less harsh there so I probably could heat my house and have hot water with just 280 gallons for the whole year (in NY i need to fill up my tank four times per year) Anyway we will be moving soon and need to cut down on items that would have to move with us. I have stopped buying physical CDs because I already have enough to take up a lot of space in a small moving truck (imagine if I had vinyl it would be 4x the space). I started using Spotify for streaming any new music I want and they have millions of jazz songs and complete albums and it all can be customized and I have the Spotify Phone App and listen to my music via blue tooth in my rig when I’m on the road. Anyway Alek and Marija are friends with me on Facebook where I post some of my over the road adventures but I wanted to share with by friends here as well.
The reason I have not been posting so much here is because I drive 10 - 12 hours per day and sleep a lot when I get home. I plan on posting more often (stop being lazy). Ok got that off my chest and I hope the few minutes it takes to read this wont bore any of you. Have a great Sunday and keep listening to jazz, the greatest music genre, and keep posting on JFA! |
Frogman there is a relatively new live release from Pepper Adams titled Pepper Adams And The Tommy Banks Trio: Live At Room At The Top See here Pepper Adams and the Tommy Banks Trio: Live at Room at the Top album review @ All About Jazz And its available on vinyl so knowing your preference to vinyl and your fondness for Pepper Adams I thought you would be interested. |
Well I guess you could call once every week and hope for the best. I prayed for O10 last night and lit a candle for him under my Mother Mary statue. |
The past few days have been the only times I have ever called him. Including twice today. The number came from google so I hope it's the correct number. I assume an 80+ year old would be at home most of the time.

frogman that 1962 Bill Evans album was re- released in 1982 titled The Interplay Sessions. From Wiki The Interplay Sessions is a 1982 Milestone album that includes the entirety of this album, and tracks recorded for Riverside on August 21 and 22 of the same year with a different lineup (with Zoot Sims and Ron Carter, and without Freddie Hubbard and Percy Heath). The Interplay Sessions peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Jazz Albums charts in 1983.[3] The CD reissue Interplay adds another take of "I'll Never Smile Again" as a bonus track. At the Grammy Awards of 1984, Orrin Keepnews won the Grammy Award for Best Album I added this to my Spotify library and am listening to it now. Great jazz! |
Hey rok have you been calling O10 periodically since his absence here started or just this recent call? regretfully, I think frogman may be right that O10s health problem may have worsened. To what extent we all can only speculate but if he has not answered your call or calls (when he usually did answer?) has me thinking sad thoughts
I do hope he is ok and, all sarcasm aside, wish he would post some of his controversial (you call it noise, rok) non jazz music |
