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.

"Than again, I dont think that anybody in particular is interested for that story either, so no need to go in depth of explanations who hated who and why (that goes to Mary Jo)".

I haven’t noticed that I went into depths. It would take at least several pages for just to scratch the surface. The matter was shortly mentioned so I answered the same. I can’t determine if one is interested in finding out the truth or not. But can’t ignore the false statements and have to bring out the facts. Period.

Jafant,I don't even watch myself for the United States Government, so why should I watch myself for Southerners? Although Mississippi is the poorest state in the union, and it's a known fact that poor people are quick to get needlessly violent, maybe I should heed your warning.

BTW, I told "Deep State" that everyday was a good day to die. They tried to accommodate me by causing my death by "natural causes"; no one would know, except the assassin doctor that injected the infection or whatever that caused my death.

Been there, done that, and I’m still alive. It’s only as a result of "Serendipity" that I’m alive.

Just a sampling:

**** let me tell you what conservatives hate more than anything****

****due to your unconcern for the problems****

****I know what you mean about "conservatives " and well off blacks****

****unless you are either sociopath or****

****You’re clearly part of the problem, and you’ll never see it.****

****I did not even click on your link A hole****

****I find that some of your posts are quite ’sick’,****

****debate your idiotic viewpoints****

****a narcissistic prick such as yourself.****

Did someone here point out that “it always turns ugly”?

All those baseless generalizations and all that vitriol as if, from simply Internet forum posts (!), anyone here could possibly understand the full measure of any other individual and what is truly in his/her heart. Things that are the result of their personal life experiences and which they may, or may not, choose to share on an Internet forum. Not to mention, as if any one of us has the writing skills to fully and accurately express them.

I see now that, sensitive and enlightened individuals that we all are, we have changed minds and viewpoints and made progress toward a better world.

Did someone here say “self serving”?

O-10, I wish you well.

The Frogman is, as usual, the voice of reason.   He is our guru in many ways.   The way to stop this, is to just stop.   I stop now.

Back to Jazz.

Cheers
