Mary_jo, I took your quiz and only missed the last 2.
"Desmond Blue is extraordinary." I agree.
"You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school." I just want to repeat this part over and over.
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.

**** fro, you are enterin’ my space... **** 😊 Isn’t it interesting how the subconscious works? I was the first to post “Desmond Blue” quite a while back and at least once more since. One of my desert island records. Is it possible.....? Could be. https://youtu.be/i1i1X51un-I Btw, the image of Woody Allen having an orgasm is a bit much to contemplate 😬 |
Today's Listen: Kenny Dorham -- AFRO-CUBAN with/J.J. Johnson,Hank Mobley,Horace Silver,Art Blakey,Carlos Valdes and others Excellent Booklet with great Pictures. Tells of Kenny's long years of paying his dues, playing with all the big stars, but always in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7myLXPUBB_w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMI9bpIMKZc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DTd6Sqjrns Cheers oooops, almost forgot, Richie Goldberg on Cowbell |
