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.

Well it was his step-daughter but still on the pervy side all right.
All I know about his playing is I would not bother to go hear it if it was free
and they sent a limo .

This is what a great clarinet player sounds like !

It’s called humor. And, for the astute - a literary segue....or, something like that 😊

So...? He is indeed pervert (I think I would have cut his head off if I was on Mia's place) but two got married and it seems that they are doing quite well. I haven't read anywhere that he was cheating on her. As they would say in Texas, Oils well that ends well. Besides, there are many of those non - perverts, looking normal but they either cheat their wives, beat the hell out of them or abuse their own family through their entire lives in the quietness of their homes. And not just in Texas of course. So what shall you do about it?
