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.

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. 
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.

Guys, are you following the news from Europe? Germans are investing in Auschwitz. Not good.


I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Rok and I are friends with different views, I believe that if I needed help, I could E-mail Rok, and if he could he would; we are both concerned about one another's welfare. I admire his honesty.

As for the few who come and go, I say let them. The subjects we discuss are too serious not to be discussed. The jazz discussion is still going on. There is no law that says anyone has to respond to anything other than jazz.

That's my point of view; maybe we should silence the OP.



This is "Jazz" there have never been many people here, and there never will be.
