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.

schubert, 

I think I just googled First Cavalry Division shoulder patch, selected the one I wanted, then saved as,   and then did the thingy with Audiogon.

I did it for all the Divisons I served in.   I change my moniker every now and then.

Cheers

That WDR German radio band seems to travel in good company.

Thanks, If I did that I’d have 3rd Armor, 8th ID ,4th ID(RVN) , 5th ID , 11th AA , 1st Cav(RVN) and the ones I liked the best, 173rd AB and Berlin Brigade .
Best unit I ever was in was C/3/ 6th Inf BB . Berlin had best discipline in Army .

Squad leaders like that . Company Level Officers too, even "water walkers" did not need  to worry about it showing upon ER as it didn't show up on special rules for Berlin . At least in early  60's when I was there .
