Rok, what you pointed out as a crime happened so often that it's not worthy of discussion.
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.

Orpheus, as you may see or hear from posts that I put, my choice of muisc is probbably closer to yours or Rok’s taste of music. But, that does not mean that I consider my choice to be the ’right’ one ,its just mine. Of course that I am happy when that is recognised or shared but I would never exclude others if they share a different opinion or taste. I believe that we can all learn or at least hear something new or different from others, no matter if we like it or not, at some moment. This is an open forum and I guess its a friendly one? In a todays world (and forum reflects that too) where so few people listen jazz, why should we make it even smaller by forcing some ’rules’, about which music is ’right’ or not? I believe what you say, about society that you (we all, I guess) live, that is a subject for a whole new theme, about post modern society and its trends...not only in ’jazz’. ’Improvisation’ is a last problem that concerns me, when I think or look at that picture... https://youtu.be/D9ArphpVxtg https://youtu.be/maOtX4tXyb4 https://youtu.be/M5GRpA5H3CI I mean, if a guy from Croatia (I bet not everyone here knows to find it on a map) can post some really 'deep' jazz or if a band from Finland can sing 'Sweet home Alabama' with Red Army choir, than that for certain shows that music should have no boundaries... |
This was done right in your capitol city. You don't need no stinkin' Leningrad Cowboys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymwi61i9cX8 Cheers |
