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, we have been down this path countless times before; no matter what you say after Frogman gets through with it, it's going to be something else, you won't even know what you said.

I think from here on out I'll just let Frogman write my posts and save me the trouble.

*****Your fallback “straw man” thing is getting a little tired*****

Well then, you can imagine how tired we are of you doing it.


*****Perhaps you enjoy the controversy and the ensuing negativity. I don’t. *****

Most often, when the OP goes off on one of his kool-aid induced rants, I am the only one that responds.   I can assure you, I have no negative feelings towards anyone. 

Now, if folks get negative feelings just from reading what the OP says, then that's a whole different conversation.   Then the OP is not the problem.

Cheers

Gee, thanks, O-10, that certainly was OP-like of you. See, and there we have it. An opportunity, as the “OP”, to rise above the fray; but, no, a choice is made instead to add to the nonsense and unnecessarily escalate the negativity with a sophomoric reaction. Nice! $400/hr, btw.

Rok, you are missing the point.  Besides, it’s all been settled 😊 :

**** Alex, you and Frogman are 100% correct, posts of that nature on this thread are a waste of time.**** - O-10.
