Jimmy Smith - Moanin'

Some days ago I talked about the song Dat Dere written by Bobby Timmons. Today I want to share another good song written by him: Moanin'. In this video clip organ player Jimmy Smith plays a great version of Moanin' at an outdoor consert in Japan together with the Blue Note Big Band. Jimmy Smith is in a really good mood and has a lot of humour.

The first version of Moanin' I heard was from a great album called "In Blue" by Karrin Allyson.




What do you think of Jimmy Smith's performance of Moanin'? Tell me.

Buba Jazz Band: Concert photos

Yesterday Buba Jazz Band played at a concert at Katalin and all that jazz. The concert was arranged by Uppsala Jazz Club. It was a really good concert and coming from a background as a swing dj I was surprised how much I liked the bop jazz songs. Excellent jazz musicians!



These are some of the songs they played: "Bud Powell" by Chick Corea, "West Coast Blues" by Wes Montgomery, "Foot Prints" by Wayne Shorter, "Blue Monk" by Thelonious Monk, "Grooving High" by Dizzy Gillespie, "Watermelon man" by Herbie Hancock, "Resolution" by John Coltrane, "It's A Reaggy Waltz" by Dave Brubeck, an uptempo version of "Yesterdays" by Jerome Kern, "Moanin'" by Bobby Timmons as well as "Work Song" and "Oleo".



Buba Jazz Band ended the concert with "When My Sugar Walks Down The Street" by Nat King Cole. The songs they played reminded me of one of my favorite albums: In Blue by Karrin Allyson which has both "West Coast Blues" and "Moanin'".



Buba Jazz Band consists of Anar "Buba" Tagyzade (song), Anders Ekholm (saxophone), Max Åhman (guitar), Christian Paulin (bass) and Janne Kullhammar (drums).
