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.

You next move is to hit Delhi or what ever town is nearest and buy all the veggy seeds you can and plant them .Also 22 . rifle and lots of ammo for rabbits and such .A 243 rifle for deer won’t be a bad move either.USA is doing worse than anyone , I wonder why ?

Native Americans have been telling us for 300 years that everything is connected to everything else. But we knew better.

Schubert, everything is connected indeed!  I know Delhi well; less than twenty minutes drive from where I am on top of Palmer Hill in Andes.  Nice little town, Delhi.  Interesting you should mention hunting.  Been talking about it with my son.  Turkey season starts May 1.  Deer will have to wait till the Fall.  Never hunted deer, but working on getting up the nerve to do so.  Still have memories of those two big beautiful eyes looking at me as, after one hour, I managed to pull in that seven foot swordfish when fishing off the bay in Zihuatanejo.  I felt awful....for a little while.  Delicious!

No nerve required . Do what Native Americans did/do when you kill the game, for eating to stay alive not for "sport", thank the animal and the creator for keeping you and your family alive.
It could come to that .
A shotgun is a good self - defense weapon as well .So is a 22 . rifle for that matter.Gun Nuts say it isn’t but nobody wants to stand in front of one ,
I wouldn’t wait to buy either .
243 Winchester is the best caliber for deer , esp. if you’re new to hunting,gets the job done without much kick. I killed my first deer with a 30-30lever action rifle at age 12 . I felt remorse as well , any good hunter does .


Yes Delhi is a nice town , a lot of folks would do better at the good 2 year rprograms at SUNY Delhi , which is a jewel, than running up debt at University .

For all , when frog says it’s beautiful in upstate NY he’s not kidding .I’ve been all over the world and it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen .
Period .

And the Adirondack Mountains  to the North are more beautiful than  that!

And the Finger Lakes to the west are the most beautiful lake district  on this planet .

The Frogman:

Camille Thurman,

Very good.   They are on the right track and playing the right kind of music.  Wynton is a good judge of talent.

Doesn't the Bible say something about women in  Jazz doing anything other than singing and piano??  She may force a  change to the Scriptures.

Glad you and yours are safe.

Cheers

Good to see you fro, I see that you were having a good time. :-) Somehow I can't imagine you with a gun or on a vehicle constructed to deliver a high tractive effort at slow speeds. :-)

Cooking is very serious art form, you might consider sharing a recipe or two. This forum has to move to more advanced level.
