Thank you pryso for sharing. Similar was here but with a different song. I understand your sister, that music will ’haunt' us for a long period of time.
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.

frogman Ella's making the changes is proof that she was a consummate musician ! Here's a song by one of my favorite male singers with some scat singing that i like. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A9wS1KB6iQ8 another song with a trumpet player I really like Till Bronner http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGiSwRgu3ks ballad backed by Big Band http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DmqDUbNUfxk |
Frogman that was fantastic; I'm a scat aficionado, and that's the best I've heard; not only that, but he's singing one of my very favorite tunes. This is the very first time I heard "Mark Murphy"; it just goes to show how much music is out there from the past, that aficionados have not heard, which means there is so much more music I have yet to hear, that's from my favorite era in music. |
I'm not a classical expert, but I found something I liked; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkM71JPHfjk this is too tough, and it exemplifies how all the various musicians in a symphony contribute to the whole better than anything I've ever seen. I can't decide who is the most attractive, the wa wa girl or the conductor; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4niv522mbtM She can Wa Wa and whistle to. Nothing has ever explained a symphony to me like these two clips. |
