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.

Agree or disagree, Truth or propaganda, food for thought.

acman3 I like the song. How is the rest of the album?

I read some of the content from your second link and don't agree with a lot of Brad's political views. Criminals will always get guns no matter what laws are passed.

As far as the military budget of the U.S.A. I have already stated on this sight it should be cut in half and the money used to provide free healthcare for all plus help homeless people living below the poverty level.

He uses the human voice in most songs, and is based on biblical books.

True in a country with more guns than people evil people will lay their hands on them.

What can be done and has been done in other countries is confiscate all semi-auto military clones with 30 round magazines etc.

 With severe penalties for those who keep them in case Chinese Airborne troops land in their back yard and/ or a Democratic president sends a company of marines to burn their house down because they fought off the blacks that drove 300 miles from Chicago to assault their wife .

Two kids killed in a school is better than a dozen .
