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.

But Helen and Stan... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAHE8LIbyzo#searching |
mary_jo, I hadn't heard that Desmond version of "Taste of Honey" before. The album title was certainly appropriate, I found it quite melancholy. For the same song in a more swinging, upbeat version, I really like this one, from an album I've owned for decades - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbQHNrCotcc |
It was 1968, that was the year the Sun died; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpR8UrMQvnU I was dining at a cafe all alone, and Shirley Bassey sang; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JSi3i_1lZQ but it was too late, she was already gone; that didn't stop me from wishing she would sing to me that song. |
