Frogman, there is no universal reality; each individual should cling to his or her reality for all it's worth, because ultimately, that is the only reality.
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.

Rok, that was in Tibetan throat singing, hang on until around 3.00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GslzWvQRiJg |
Let's go around the world, this is fun. Rok, when we saw that dancing in Cuba, I told you and Frogman it was structured; those drumbeats are connected to movements in dance. The dancing that accompanies this music is as structured as any European dance; they have certain movements on the beat, they have to practice. I saw dancers in the Kathryn Dunham school of dance where they are taught dances she learned in Africa. Descendants of slaves all over the Caribbean, and in Brazil still dance to these drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e8bUyC55cc Enjoy the music. |
Just one of the reasons people go gaga over Miles. Check out "My Funny Valentine". He lets you know what tune he's going to play in his first two statements, and from there he just hints at the original melody without ever straying so far that you lose track of it. It all works and is brilliant. And talk about setting a mood with that muted trumpet sound; the guy was a genius. Before anyone gets worked into a tizzy, one of many geniuses in this music; but he was one of them without a doubt. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OcIiu1kQMx0 |
