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.

Socialist Medicine benefits only the poor, in the sense than
it’s better than nothing. Slightly better.

Maybe at your place. Here not. You would be surprised to see how high level of medical care we had about 20 years ago. Now we are heading very fast to your system and we can't be happier. 

I am talking about highly sophisticated procedures not about placing bandage on a kid's play wound:

Don't believe all the propaganda about the US medical system.  When the leaders of all these socialist countries get sick, where do they run?
They run to you but surely not to your public hospitals (and we are talking about them here). A care they seek and you offer in this case is available only to very few.

Thank you Mary_jo for a sensible post, it might stop my ranting and raving, I was about to go on another rant before I read your post.

People my age are dropping like flies; that’s not exactly good news, plus I’m not feeling well after going out yesterday, but that’s not totally unusual. (not feeling well)

Now they’re arguing about ventilators! If I need a ventilator, the next guy down the line can have mine, I prefer someone to say the last rites.
O10, most of us have the similar feeling after going out into the twilight zone. You will be just fine, in Croatian we say "Nece grom u koprive!", english translation would be something like A lightning won’t strike into stinging nettle. ;-)

Take care

How long do you think this virus had been circulating in China before they went public?
I do not know, I can only speculate and that is worthless.

I don't have many heroes.  All that I do have, are people I know, except one, Dr Jonas Salk.  A product of the American 'system'.

Cheers
