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, I could continue the silliness and ask you to point out one single statement that I have made that is not defensible, but I will let your ridiculous comment pass and simply say that it is time, once again, for me to take a break from trying to have meaningful dialogue with you; unfortunately (and I mean that) it's simply too difficult and all too often devoid of the only reason that I have bothered to begin with. The issue of N&B is a prime example of why its so difficult. That you still think that I have not made it perfectly and absolutely clear what I have meant by the use of the term is really beyond my understanding. There can only be two reasons why this may be: 1. It's one more example of the common tactic to obfuscate the issue when you, yourself, are the one who makes an indefensible statement. Or 2. You have so little understanding of both the particulars of and the general conceptual premise that the term N&B addresses that you truly can't see what's right in front of you. It appears to be true that ignorance is bliss for some. Anyway, I am sure I will be checking in again some time. Until then, Happy Listening and Happy 4th. Cheers. |
Learsfool, I think the C.S. Lewis quote is from one of the Narnia novels. I believe this is the trumpet player Rok is recalling with Woods. He is outstanding. http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=uqJcd4Ljqxo |
