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.

Alex, war is indeed sometimes the only solution (unfortunately) and is definitely in human nature (again unfortunately). Remember what had to happen to gain liberté, égalité, fraternité. Remember also what happen afterwards. The big R eats it’s kids. Humans (what a nice word to call a man) are doomed.
Rok, nope, none of that. The death of T only made it faster to happen. But that was not the cause. The destiny of SSSR had nothing to do with it either since SSSR and SFRY were two completely different countries in many, many ways.To put it more clear, similarities between them were minor.

"The tensions were always there."
So were in Africa because Africa is rich in natural resources. We were rich in something else.
I think you get my point.
Schubi, I was just about to quote you but you deleted the post. I agree with dropping off the subject.
