I ask you in all honesty aficionados, was the Frogman's last post on, or off track? Was it "Kosure" according to his latest, for lack of a better word, "rantings"? Before I go into a long diatribe, I will wait for your response.
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.

Frogman, I feel obliged to furher explain my stand, so when ever you feel that you are in mood, or when your schedule allows you, would like to ’clear’ any potential missunderstandings. Orpheus, since his (Frogman) last post is addressed to me, I guess I would be first to to react if I felt that he was ’off track’. But, I have to admit, that even when I desagree with his views, I have nothing to object about the way Frogman express them. So, if your intention is not only pure provocation, I would say that there is nothing to be said about it. With all honesty, if I did not know better, I could easily ’catch’ myself trying to answer to some of Rok’s posts, but in all this time I have learn better not do so, because I am not really sure is he joking or not. So, no matter how ’close minded’ some of his(Rok’s)posts might look to be, I must admit that sometimes he displays great sense of humor, which is always sign of intelligence and I have choosen to believe that he is always joking.... So,instead of picking on Frogman, I would appreciate your opinion on the subject, if you have something to add, or we should just continue with our usual affairs, as I am sure that this subject will arise before than later... |
Does anyone mind if I interject a little Jazz? Today's Listen: Erroll Garner -- COMPLETE CONCERT BY THE SEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEN8pbFDMcE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNRTRi5znuM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxVGzuopnow I hope these passes muster with our Comrades at the Audiogon Politburo.
