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.

O-10, you may like some of these. The real deal and with Beny More, one of the greatest voices in Cuban music (there's some filler in there, unfortunately): https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLISpodrpNfpv5u45SNWga74-NqZNDw7IZ&v=dksbW7oa-gU |
Wow! Too many posts for me to really keep up. I've been working more hours than I care to work and haven't had the time to keep up on this thread, (my favorite), listen to music, and cook. But...... Cuban music has been addressed. I love Cuban music. I double and triple love it. Thank you all for your clips, I have enjoyed them immensely. Here's one from the "neighborhood." Enjoy. -- Bob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AlYpp8F5a8 |
Two albums of Paco De Lucia that everyone should have. (ok, there are at least 15 more, but for beginners, if there are any here...) Of course, the ones with trio are also 'must have', with MCLaughlin and Di Meola and with Larry Coriell Saw him live, with sextet and flamenco dancers, pity that he did not recorded more alums in that form (3?) Sextet, from 1981 'Solo Quiero Caminar' https://youtu.be/V3RW1XF1NP4 'Almoraima' from 1976. https://youtu.be/lY2_eAZo4Lk Great Music, hope you will like it.... |
