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.

orpheus10, with all due respect this statement is wrong: "A person can not get a car, an apartment, or a house without a job; what Mow-ron would not want a job?" In the state of NY we have the Department of Social Services (welfare) and other housing programs. The best of these is called "section 8" An example: A young woman gets pregnant at 18 and has a baby. At 22 she has another and at 24 another all with different fathers. She first applied for welfare at 18 after baby #1. After baby "2 she applies for section 8. By the time baby #3 is born she is granted section 8. Section 8 gives you a 3 bedroom house rent free. The owner of the house gets a check for the rent every month directly from section 8. Usually one of the fathers moves into the house and either works but has no bills to pay, or deals drugs with no bills to pay. I can drive through many of the poor "welfare neighborhoods" and see brand new BMW's in the driveway of the house paid for by the state. (Joe taxpayer). An appropriate song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSabADNvxjk |
