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.

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.

@rok2id   "I don't understand why I am part of the problem.  Please elaborate."

The problem I presented to O-10 is different from the problem you see.  I said:

<<Too few do ("get it"), as denial of the history and lasting impact of American Apartheid runs very, very deep. It’s there for those who want to research it, but most don’t. >>
If you have researched and do understand that history and its lasting impact, just say so.  Reading your posts, you don't seem to, so you appear to be part of the problem I cited.
