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, do you know what "genocide" is?*****

I do, But it's obvious that you do not.


@Bluesy41,   you are addressing the OP of this thread.   I think he decides what is appropriate.

Cheers

Rok, I understand your response, and that's such a horrible word, that I wont use it twice.

I only ask, from one military man to another, that you carefully examine my post; especially the link.

Hey I know you're the author of this thread. I'm just trying to keep myself from getting mad at people I don't know who views maybe be different from mine. We are here because of our love for music and that is what brought us together. Religion, creed or ones political affiliation is not a requirement. And yes I am a black man who simply loves music and particularly jazz music. Music, Music, Music whether it's Stan Getz or Ahmad Jamal, I'm here for the music.

Welcome to the thread bluesy41. I look forward to your comments on the music.

**** I think he (OP) decides what is appropriate. ****

I don’t think so. And certainly not when the comments are unrelated to the thread’s topic. That topic is the reason that readers visit the thread; not to read rantings on unrelated topics and especially when the comments are so provocative and rooted in personal agenda. This is a thread about music. Once again, in spite of all the prior commentary about how the reason that there aren’t more posters here is that we “aficionados” are somehow special and have some special appreciation for this music, here we have a new contributor who is not being welcomed. The name calling is probably next. That has also been very effective at driving new posters away. It seems that the unrelated comments surface when there is nothing interesting to say about the music.

Well, I think so, and apparently, so does the OP.  Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.   We can talk about Basie and Katrina all in the same day.  Believe it or not.

Once again, here we go with the straw man stuff.   No one said the posters on this thread are special.   No one said Bluesy41 was not welcome.   You just make  this stuff up, so you can tear it down.

Cheers
