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.

The USAF has very few people who ever see any combat . It is far more just a job than other branches and they make more money and are promoted more than other branches .
Fact : The USAF is the greatest owner of Golf Courses in the world .

When I was an infantryman(only real soldiers) near what we called the Air Farce base, we used to say to say if we had to do 20 years for a pension
they should have to do 50 and it was not a joke .

Of course , there are a few exceptions like 0-10 !
Try to get to a Navy Seal wedding asap .

Rok, working class also refers to those who are unemployed and can't find a job; whether you like it or not, people all around this globe are going to do what they figure they have to do in order to survive; meaning, hookers got to hook, and purse snatchers got to snatch.

I see now, the conservative view is "If you can't find a job, just be a good little boy and lay down and starve". It ain't going to happen dude.

Can conservative liberal; that's nonsensical "conservative" talk to begin with. How about cause and effect; that's what educated people deal with.

***** I was in Detroit when people drove new cars, dressed elegantly, lived in very nice homes, and enjoyed the best entertainment.*****

Cars, fancy dress, nice homes, entertainment.  hmmmmm

You forgot to mention setting aside money during the good times in order to send the kids to The University of Michigan etc...
slight oversight on your part, i'm sure.

That's true when the unemployment is a temporary situation.  These folks have been 'unemployed' for generations!!   Some have never known of anyone having a job.   Never!!

I wonder how many folks crossing the southern border have found work while these folks 'can't find a job'.   Millions would be my guess.

Cheers
