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.

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.

While you saw them in that neighborhood, and it’s possible to have seen a Lamborghini in that neighborhood, it didn’t belong to a "welfare recipient", a dope dealer most likely; he’s someone who couldn’t make it on Wall Street and chose the Black mans path to riches.
O-10. I think noone not even for a moment had a thought those cars actually belonged to any of the poor ones. The fraud in as you call it "welfare" certainly do exist but that does not mean that welfare should cease to exist as such (this sentence is actually for rok, not for you). I strongly support the system which will provide the basics (health insurance, roof over head, education...) for the most needed ones. But it’s the system again, if there is a will for it, that should secure the distribution of those supporting funds according to the written law. It is other pair of shoes if system allows the existance of grey zones where black welfare market blooms and fraud occurs.

Alex, as Jazz players sometimes say to one another: “You’re stealing my sh#t!” 😊.  Musical ideas (“sh#t”), that is.  I think you know that I agree.

If there is a will, there is a way...

I think I talk way too much...

John Coltrane, Wise One

John Coltrane, Acknowledgement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qagOblqhBhk

"Here’s another superb instrumental track, this time from the jazz saxophonist lovingly known as Trane. Somewhat of a musical odyssey, Acknowledgement forms the first part of the artist’s four-track magnum opus entitled A Love Supreme.

Drenched with emotion, this expressive, beautiful record skitters along intensely – representing the artist’s personal struggle for purity. On a technical level, it’s also perfect. Created as a deeply spiritual piece of work, Coltrane’s avant-garde styling set an indomitable precedent for not only jazz, but artistry in general." ~ source pure.com

Have a good weekend guys.
