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.

BoB was NOT the turning point and the UK could never have defeated Germany alone. The Brits were in no way capable, in the fall of 1940, to invade northwest Europe so they panned and carried out bombing rins over Germany which was a dismal failure.


In the 10 raids bomber command launched against Berlin between June and November 1941, 133 Germans were killed compared with casualties in the RAF of 3 times that much. At the same time British aircraft losses in 1941, mostly bombers, were more then double those in 1940 - (1,034 vs 492)

By all means, its kind of pointless to argue about history from a simple point of personal opinion, let alone on jazz forum.
Than again, we have these subjects mentioned every now and than but its never quite clear to me what is the purpose of it and what exactly we should discuss about.
Op is concerned about decline of middle class and rule of economic oligarchy that effects us all, Rok is usually just beeing Rok and now the others are starting to share their belifs, which is a great way to poison the thread by some bad emotions.
I really think that we should not follow that path, or perhaps, we should open new ’political’ sub thread, but away from jazz.
I dont mind at all when somebody shares his memories even if not in context of music, but if such thoughts are going to open bitter responds, one should know better not do do it, at least here.
Life is too short and there are very few people here already, it would be shame if we destroy such a fragile coexistence between very different people and peronalitys.

Paul and Orpheus, this might be the interesting book for you...despite some controverial thoughts I think that our objective reality confirms it...

Attacking Russia, as I stated in my original post, was their biggest mistake. For all intents and purposes Germany lost the war on 22 June 1941 although it took 4 more years.

...

Adolf Hitler had predicted that Russia would fold and Germany would win by the end of September. Adolf Hitler was wrong. He and his intelligence staff underestimated the Soviet Unions strength in man power and industrial capacity.

The Soviet Union continued to "grow" army’s and stack them in front of the Germans. 

...

We all are in debt to the Soviet Union which bore the brunt of the full might of the German Army and bled them white before we landed on Normandy on 6 June 1944 to open the second front.
True.
