Schubert, Indian giver! 😊.  Finally had some time this morning and was going to listen and comment to what promised to be an interesting clip.  Please post it again. Â
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.

Here is some of Herbie Mann's music in 1968 that I like:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX1QJZshrLw    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqUOy8i5ZY This was before 68, it was in 67;     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMrDu4mxDKM |
I just realized that my attempt at humor directed at Schubert might be misconstrued as somehow insensitive or racist. I suppose I could delete it, but I think that the more adult thing to do is to stress that there was no malice intended and let everyone be big boys and girls. Apology to anyone offended. |
This is further expansion on the concert in 1968 where Miles, Herbie Mann, and Nina Simone were on the same bill. While we might be Miles fans, Nina Simone was the star that day, and she got the biggest reception. This was in the Summer of 68. Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis Tennessee. This concert occurred about three months after that; you know Nina was on fire. "Nuff Said" is an album by Ms. Simone, that was recorded three days after Dr. MLK was assassinated. Naturally, this is what she performed at that concert.

"It was the best of times and it was the worst of times". It was the best of times for us, four guys in their twenties roaming the exciting streets and neighborhoods of Chicago in the Summer of 68. Â https://www.google.com/search?q=chicago+in+1968&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjkiOywzIDmAhXDJ6wKHT51C_... |
