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.

This is a tune that comes in at near the top of all my favorite pieces; it has a spiritual sound that can not be duplicated;

Thanks for those John Handy tracks, Orpheus.  A bit like something from the ECM label (well, those two tracks anyway).  Hope you are getting stronger and pain is decreasing.

Pryso, that's a real winner, it also has a pretty cover. I have that complete series of CD's with the beautiful oriental covers; they're all nice.

Ghosthouse, these doctors seem to work like painters who color by the numbers; as long as you have something that is the right color, and it fits the number in their coloring book, you're OK; but if you have something different and they are required to investigate, you're up a creek, microscopes are unknown.

I seem to get more answers from "Google" than the doctors, and I don't have to travel, or spend money.

In regard to pain and pain killers, I see why so many people are ODing; since the doctor can't find the root cause of the pain, it's a matter of taking pills till the pain goes away. That puts this drug OD problem in a slightly different light, plus there are "pain management" clinics that only push pills.

There is time spent going to the doctors office, waiting in pain at the doctors office, and not making any progress; all of this puts drug OD in a different light.

I appreciate your concern; never contract anything that's outside of the scheme of the doctors coloring book.
