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.

If you want to see the culprit, just go find a mirror and take a good look.
I fully agree. I let things happen by doing nothing.

But me all alone, can't do much, do I?

I'm not super rich, and I'm not a politician, so it ain't me.


Of course it's you.  You need to catch up on your Ayn Rand.

Cheers

I must be a prognosticator of the future, because I knew you were going to say that.


Would you care to elaborate on your profound statement.

Your car, house, your high end stereo rig and all your materiel wealth,  all courtesy, ultimately, of the super rich.

Thinking is required.

Ayn Rand died in 1982, that was long before "capitalism" was replaced by "Corporatism", which is the present "World Order".

My house would be bigger, and my high end higher, had not they changed they game on me. Just when I caught on to one game, they went to one eyed jacks wild, and I didn't have any.

Just joking about the one eyed jacks to make a point. With this new "Corporatism" game, only the super rich win, but since there was no headline stating that fact, the multitudes are left believing the game is still being played by the old rules.
