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 know exactly why I talk to you and I have made it perfectly clear; no need to wonder here. Sorry you don't appreciate my motivation. You can proceed as you please and ignore whatever you wish. I won't actively ignore anything posted here including your posts as long as I continue to participate or unless I want to ignore it; seems too childish to me and frankly I am not personally invested in any of this and neither should you be. Why you find anything I may have said more offensive than some of you have said is just one the mysteries of our interaction. Alas.

Cheers

BTW, try that Clave exercise. Takes a little practice, but really helps understand rhythm.

Frogman, in theology there is a term"invincible ignorance" ,where it is considered a tad sinful to waste your efforts on those who have made it clear there is no way
short of divine interventation.

Rok, I got religion! Unfortunately, you have to dance, and I've never been much of a stepper, but I'm catching on. They're taking 45 RPM records, and playing them at 33, just for me; in a year or two I'll be up to speed.
