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.

Speaking of short shrift I’ve not seen any love for Jackie Terrasson(?).
A fine original piano player who gets air time on Mpls. Jazz FM .
Where can I go to learn how to make these You Tube posts ?

An admitted Luddite and computer idiot that my kids laugh at for this reason, I can offer limited help. On my iPad, and presumably other devices as well, it’s as simple as going to the top of the YouTube page and copying the URL (address beginning with https:// ) in the box and simply pasting it into the text of your Audiogon post.

Schubert, when are you going to make a you tube post?

The only dummy is the person who quits asking questions before he gets an answer that he understands.  Until you make a you tube post, I will assume it's because you don't know how.
Maybe someone else will chime in on instructions.

Well, once you get past history I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer .
 To me "paste" was that stuff you used in kindergarten .

Schubert - 
1) Once you have an item you want to copy a link to, put your cursor at the right end of the string of letters that starts "https" in the box at the top of the page (as Frogman says).
2) Click to highlight that string (single or double click...whatever it takes).
3) Depress and hold the Control key and then the ’C’ button (Mac); or press the Command key and hold it while pressing the ’C’ buttons (Windows). That will copy the string.
4) Above the "Post your Response" box in A’gon (where you want the link to appear, click on the little icon that looks like a tilted figure 8. Position your cursor in the box that opens, then press and hold Control or Command followed by the "V" key. This will "paste" the link. You might have to delete one of the "http://" occurrences if it appears twice. Click okay and now that string should appear as an active link in the box where you can add some comments to go along with it.

Hope that makes it easier. Nobody is born with this stuff. Everybody has to learn it at one point or another. No extra points for being the first to learn (at least not in my book).
