O-10, you, sir, are not a music lover; you are a music opportunist. And, you just corroborated everything that I wrote previously; not that it was necessary. Why do I feel like I need to go take a shower?

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.

A picture is worth a thousand words. From this http://sentireascoltare.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/sentireascoltare_miles-davis_around-midnight.... To this http://www.promo-team.de/cds/september-07/miles-davis-box-2-gross.htm Cheers |
My problem with Fusion is this: (Of course this is from the perspective of the Great Unwashed.) It's not good Jazz, not Good Rock, or Good Soul or good whatever the fused element is supposed to be. To my ear, more like experiments in sound. Google the music that was being made in 1972, which was not a good year, but still, if you wanna hear rock, play the stones. In biology we would say this was a dead end branch of the evolutionary tree of Jazz. It didn't go anywhere. Didn't lead to future greatest. So, why did it exist? Follow the money. And the fame. And being accepted by the hip and the young. Those are powerful lures. Like a second lease on life. I do not blame them. I blame the folks who decided it should be called JAZZ. Cheers |
