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.

Bobby Timmons is one of my favorite jazz musicians, his music resonates with me, and many of the working class people it was written for as well. Jazz is the purest expression of the inner person who creates it, since his music expresses my inner person, I want to know everything about him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Timmons I have no ideas about the substance abuse problems associated with jazz musicians; however, I will say that the problems have nothing to do with the music; I have been very close friends with musicians who had the problem, and it didn't help them play better one iota; they couldn't play when they needed it, and they couldn't play when they had too much. In common with Bobby Timmons, they had a rare talent that comes along once in a "Blue Moon"; a talent that makes mere music rise above itself and become a part of the "spirit world" that resides in all living human beings. "Moanin" ;I've been beating the pavement looking for a job and can't find one. My unemployment done run out, and now all I can do is "Moan". Bobby Timmons music was a success because it connected with the working man on the street in a special way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnVP5KdQkI4 |
