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.

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

Rok, I agree, as I said, you seem to be a funny guy, looking from distance.

Next quatation is not a try to continue 'discussion' with you, it is for Frogman.
It seems to me that you have forgot to quote the lines that started all (at least in my case)

'I have nothing against war.  Some of humanity's finest hours happened during war.  And sometimes war is the only solution to the problem.  And don't forget the major advances in social situations, science and medicine that happen during war.

Also, the climate / environment is in crisis.  The greatest cause from humans, is over population.  There are too many people on this planet.  War helps with that also.'

Now, on some blunt level, some of that might even be true, but I would not call it as something that should be accebtable to ones that consider themself to be human. Some lines should never be crossed

Alex, I will respond out of respect for you and the fact that you seem to be asking for a response from me. Only this one time; and last time on the topic. If I am mistaken about your wish for a response I would refer you to the last paragraph here and what I wrote in my previous post.

**** , for obvious reasons often I do not take you very serious, in fact, as younger population would say, I find that some of your posts are quite ’sick’, in a funny way.****

Is that better? I don’t think so. In fact, some might say it is even more provocative. Re “lines that should not be crossed”:

**** but I would not call it as something that should be accebtable to ones that consider themself to be human ****

In the context of the reservations that I expressed re trying to communicate one’s feelings about some of these complicated issues on a forum like this, for me, this comment crosses that line.

Regards.
