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.

alex man, that was some pretty heavy blues you posted. You just raised yourself on a "higher musical level" (can be freely interpreted) in my eyes. Thanks for the blues.
Mary Joe, funny, always thought that Van Halen is your favourite player.

In fact, if I do not know better, after reading this, I would say that you live in 'sociailism' because its only there possible that an individual losses so much money without  responsability and that later his debts are paid by public.

As for other things ('fighting, etc) you said, you should try to visit Europe again, you might be surprised to find out that public opinion about old adversaries has changed and very much so during last 15 years, due to role of Us foreign policy
