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 has come to my attention that we have neglected one of the most creative drummers for sure; "Chico Hamilton". I dedicate the first cut to you, mary_jo;

Again Schubert, your wisdom is most profound, we are living in a society or system that is governed or controlled by corporations.

Even doctors take orders from the "corp" they work for if told to do so.

Schubert, I was selling real estate in 78 when Jimmy Carter was president; everything was going just fine, I was making money, people were buying houses ( 3 bedrooms, 2 car garage, 2 bath, plus entertainment room, in a nice subdivision) All of a sudden, the interest rate began going up, and it kept going up until no one could afford to buy any thing.

The Fed controlled the interest rate, and Paul Volker was the chairman. He raised the rate until everything stopped dead still, nothing moved. The economy got so bad that it resulted in one suicide that I know of. That’s why Jimmy Carter didn’t get re-elected.
