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.

Thanks for the info.   Just looked thru all my Etta James CDs, they are all loaded with great stuff.   But no St Louis Blues.   I'll think about the ebay thing.

Cheers
Another good one.  Dr. John on piano.

I did fine the Etta performance on Amazon, it took some looking.

Pathology: that's the study of disease; the science of the causes and effects of diseases.

In addition to prosecuting and punishing murders, they should be studied, the same as a disease. When there were only a few, the present system of dealing with them was fine, but now we have an epidemic of murders. A totally separate agency, in addition, to law enforcement should be set up to discover "WHY".

In a DEMOCRACY, every single citizen has a responsibility to oversee this form of government. The citizens in this country have shirked that responsibility.

As insane and out of control as things have gotten, many think it's too late, while others think, "It ain't my job"; but it is your job.

Presently, there is an epidemic of murder. There is also an epidemic of drug use, could they be linked? While I know those two items are connected in one way; that's the fight for who is going to sell drugs in a given area, that in no way explains all the other murders.

Politicians and corporations have colluded to make the wealth of this country theirs, they have even colluded to take money from us individually by manipulating the price of food, gasoline, and everything else. I gave concrete evidence of this in my last post. What are you going to allow them to take next before you get concerned?
