I have a feeling He would be more forgiving than my wife would be. Kidding, she’s the coolest. All in good fun.
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.

Today's Listen: Wycliffe Gordon -- DREAMS OF NEW ORLEANS Music of New Orleans circa 1919, as the notes say.. Not the New Orleans I had in mind when I bought this. But, it turned out to be an excellent CD. It's a Chesky recording so SQ is excellent. The band is from NYC, a sure red flag had I been able to read the notes beforehand. Other worrying tidbits from the booklet: "Michael Dease on slide and valve trombones, tenor and baritone saxes and trumpet .... and Juilliard-trained Ibanda Ruhumbika on tuba..." Oh well, in spite of all that, these guys can play. Of course Wycliffe is Wycliffe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UfNDHZJjuU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyCwuCbGlNs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHF_xCU5zns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsgnQzDczss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJAZBXto0uA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnOcz7OaRTI Played at volume, you get visions of 'Red Hot Mamas.' Not you Queen. Cheers |
Still, I am not sure how to behave from now on, this was quite inconsiderate act from audiogon. Simple and kind warning should have been enough. We are not kids, ok, maybe Rok only, but the rest of us would have surely understood the message. :-) This is a good question. I say continue as normal. If start we acting different the thread won't be worth continuing. We all know what The Bible says about 'Moderators'. And yes, it was very inconsiderate of Audiogon. That's why I suspect foul play.
