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.

Thanks for heads up rok ! All I can say is I left with the Cav a few months back from Germany . By Army standards they were disciplined then and remained so till I left . I was in 229th Air Assault Bat.

Army really needed real platoon Sgt’s bit over a year later and I raised my hand .

Wrong ,went to 4th Div which had zero discipline as did every other did Army unit I saw .  Pass the dope .
The 229th was the most,, per capita , decorated unit in Viet Nam . And deserved it .

WRONG they were the backbone . And the  Pathfinders  were life and death  for all .

Keegiam, I have an 15 year old Sound Applications I just plug into and never have any problems. Sounds like nothing, so who knows if it does anything. Likes Elrod cords.

Sooo, I am of no use in your hunt.

The Power Wedge is almost 30 years old and worked flawlessly until the crazy voltage spikes hit.  Maybe it saved the preamp, or maybe not.  Given that the unprotected amp is okay, perhaps the preamp would have been okay too.

BTW, I'd rather risk losing an amplifier than risk constricting its sound.  Protecting front end stuff is fine, but it seems to me an amp should be enjoyed as is.

Thanks acman, keep on keepin' on.
