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.

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley CANNONBALL TAKES CHARGE Cannonball(alto), Wynton kelly(piano), Paul Chambers(bass), Percy heath(bass), Jimmy Cobb(drums), Albert "Tootie" Heath(drums) Riverside / Capitol Jazz 1959 / 2002 Notes: Recorded in the spring of 1959, this was only the third of some 15 albums featuring cannon that I produced for the Riverside label. ....I think of this era as Early Cannonball. Early means the period before stardom. Before he put together his notable quintet (with his brother Nat on cornet and the funky composer Bobby Timmons on piano) and convinced me to record them in performance at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco late in '59, thereby turning himself into a full-scale major attraction and Jazz household name, and almost single-handedly launching the 1960s phenomenon known as "Soul Jazz." -- Orrin Keepnews serenata https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccl4W_BHZR0 barefoot Sunday blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3hxbW2XYJ0 if this isn't love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtKdT7ER23U poor butterfly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umlAV-2jDpo Cheers |
