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.

Much Thanks! Schubert-
for telling your story. It is imperative that we share all experiences here, positive & negative, for the rest of us.  Sadly, eBay is just as bad, as every moron and I do mean moron, it is laden w/ really poor sellers.

Take Care,

Schubert, hope you would not mind me giving you an advice, but if you can calm down and join later, I personally would be glad to hear (read) from you again. If not for anything else, than for a sake of contributing  to such a diverse companionship here. You must admit that there are some good words and music shared and your posts were for sure appriciated.

Frogman, I hope you don't think I said I didn't like "The Peacocks" simply because you posted it. You're getting kinda weird lately. If you think that, it's what I mean by "kinda weird".

The Peacocks was dreary, like a foggy, drizzly, rainy day, and I didn't like it. Does that explanation pass muster?


Enjoy the music.

***** Rok, I'm on a search for Leon on CD*****

A  lot of them on Amazon.   They are pretty proud of them, i.e. they are very expensive.   You did notice he is dressed like Sinbad, and is also from St Louis.  Remember Miles?

Cheers
