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, if you want to stay on the good side of the Frogman, you got to get into astrology, because it changes; I don't know whether it's on phases of the moon, or when Jupiter is in the seventh house; no, that's not it, the moon in the seventh house!

What I'm trying to say, is when a guys good side keeps moving around, it ain't easy finding the good side.

I think his moon went into the outhouse instead of the seventh house.

That would explain a lot. :)

Pure class.  I have no doubt you know all about that subject.  If it weren't all so pathetic I might thank you guys for making it so easy.

One thing is for certain, whether it's old jazz, or old Cuban, it's old school for me. Maybe old Cuban music will get on the good side of Frogman.

Gonzalo Rubalcaba, is he old school or new school? Did we ever close the case on Africa? I am going to have to start keeping a notebook.


Here's the real deal from Cuba; frogman has the floor, who did what, did somebody teach the Cubans how to play? This music is just too good.

Which reminds me of this documentary I was looking at on South Africa; they discovered some artwork, they said had to have come from another planet because native South Africans were not capable. I say the old Europeans hit up on time and space  travel, and did it before the New Europeans discovered South Africa.

Rok, Frogman has the floor, and we are going to listen and learn.
More to discover
