Sidney Bechet: Creole Blues
There you go.

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.

**** The OP should be able to say what is, and what is not, appropriate for this thread. **** He did....in his OP....jazz. Now, while I would disagree with the idea that a thread started on a public forum with a stated purpose has a sort of built-in rule that the OP determines the path of the thread no matter what and concerns of others be dammned, even when that path has title to do with the stated purpose, that certainly is one way to approach participation in a thread; so be it. However, is it inappropriate for participants to disagree with that approach and to say so? I don’t think so. As you say...freedom of speech. No? **** I feel obligated to show him the light. **** Exactly my point. |
***** Now, while I would disagree with the idea that a thread started on a public forum with a stated purpose has a sort of built-in rule that the OP determines the path of the thread no matter what and concerns of others be dammned, even when that path has title to do with the stated purpose, that certainly is one way to approach participation in a thread.***** Vintage, The Frogman, The Strawman. You said that, not the OP, and certainly not me. The path of the thread has not changed one bit. ***** However, is it inappropriate for participants to disagree with that approach and to say so? I don’t think so. As you say...freedom of speech. No?***** Freedom of speech means just that, so I fail to see a problem here. The OP and anyone else can post as they see fit, and you and others can like it, or not, as you see fit. And if the OP does not like what YOU post, he can let you know. Cheers |
Exactly, no one is stopping anyone from anything and you state the obvious. As far as the “strawman” allusion goes, I fail to see your point. Your fallback “straw man” thing is getting a little tired, btw. **** The OP should be able to say what is, and what is not, appropriate for this thread **** Who said he can’t? Want to talk “strawman”? If all the bs that ensues when the thread gets derailed by the controversial comments does not constitute “altering the path of the thread” then I don’t know what does. Perhaps you enjoy the controversy and the ensuing negativity. I don’t. |
frog, you and acman3 picked up on the new (jazz) game quite nicely. Here's another from that Manhattan Transfer album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-tdNW1rc0U |
