No strings đ± this time.
Mercifully.Â
Btw, you never made a performance recommendation for Beethoven's complete Violin Sonatas.  The one I have is sort of Ancient.

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.

Thanks mary_jo for the info on the tread removal. Great Art Pepper selection. frogman I will check through my disc collection tomorrow on that Golson recording. I just finished listening to this incredible Coltrane recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8XEmGhTm3A Btw Eric Dolphy plays bass clarinet on the double disc set I have. |
Rok, youâre right, I never did. I canât recommend enough the set on DG by Gidon Kremer and Martha Argerich. Iâve been a fan of both Kramer and Argerich for a long time and these are terrific interpretations. Â https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/7936469--beethoven-violin-sonatas-nos-1-10 I was speaking to a friend recently who is a wonderful violinist and who is also a fan of the Kremer recordings and he also likes the Isabelle Faust recordings on Harmonia Mundi. |
Thanks Frogman. Presto seems to be a good alternative to Amazon, at least for Classical. They promised it will ship by the end of August!!!! Anyone need a good laugh? From a âverified purchaserâ on Amazon, a Chesky CD by Macy Gray I was considering: " It well may be extremely well recorded,but be warned itâs still jazz!" He gave it a one star rating.  And they say Jazz has no future. Cheers |
