Hi Orpheus - I have deliberately refrained from joining the arguments here the last several months, though I have read it all. I am done arguing with people here. I was very surprised, therefore, that you actually called me a "troll." Please explain to me, if you can, how my post with the link to Wynton's article fits that description in any way. I was merely posting something germane to previous discussions here, that I thought people would be interested in. The post was not directed at anyone on this board in particular, and was most certainly not intended as a comment on you or your friend. You are trying to read something into it that is simply not there, and I hope you can look at it again and understand that. Peace.
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.

Read up on Marz , real name is Jiri- a Moravian and Graduate of Prague Conservatory. IF there is a more musical people on this planet than Moravians I don’t know about them . My immediate reaction to his playing was he was very well educated in all phases of music and resides in the very upper echelon of players . As well as being a alum of the great Prague school also was given a scholarship to Berklee when he came to USA . If Amazon has 20 of his CD’s I’m buying them all ! |
Made me think of a recording from Red Mitchell and Bill Mays called "Two of a Kind". There are no Youtube clips, so this will have to represent that recording. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuFCEa95gvo |
