Frogman , the one I saw was with a white woman , he said the same thing but much harsher to her . In yours the drugs were doing the talking .
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.

It was in the Summer of 69 that I was attending a company school in Chicago with other employees from all over the country. I hooked up with three other guys who were from from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Bed Sty New York; he was the most memorable with his Dashiki and sandals; he was also an experts on "Bongs", but he couldn't drive a car. Never heard of a grown man who couldn't drive a car. That meant he couldn't drive when we rented a car. Once we heard that Miles Davis, Nina Simone, and Herbie Mann were going to be in town on the same bill, we decided to buy tickets. Cincinnati purchased the tickets, and I knew they were too reasonable. When we got to the auditorium, I discovered why; I have never been so high up on the inside of a building in my life. Fortunately we had good luck, there was a real bad storm that day, and people who bought tickets at ground level close to the stage, didn't show up; so we decided to go down and put those empty seats to good use. Miles was first; I already described him, Herbie Mann was second; He came out in a very light, almost white, tan suit, and shiny light brown boots, brown shirt with a big collar that he wore outside of his coat. I admired his dress so much that I copied it for myself later on. Not only was Herbie well dressed, but it was a toss up between him and Nina as to who stole the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4DiUhro1WU Herbie was on fire that day; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7gdstNGYEs It was a very good day. |
