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.

Some people see through rose-color glasses , some do not . They say that it takes all kinds , not being God I can’t say .


What is certain is the human race is destroying the planet we live on at a faster rate than anyone expected . There is no wider stage .
The fact that a 16 year old autistic girl is blowing the loudest horn could be seen as Biblical intervention . Not being God I don’t know .

I do believe he has a very wide field of view.

Detroit was the most prosperous city for the working class I have ever been to. Everybody it seems had a brand new car. There was a carport behind the house where I was staying with a black and white convertible Chrysler Imperial parked in it. It always seemed to be snowing in Detroit when I was there, and during a "White out" all you could see was the black convertible top of this car; it seemed to be floating in air. (I lusted for that car).

I recall having drinks with friendly people in their "Rathskellers"; which they were very proud of. People who worked at those automobile manufacturing plants were living good in Detroit. My lady friend who I was visiting suggested I apply for a job, and come back and join her. I put in an application, and later on received a telegram in St. Louis to come back to Detroit, and help build "Greyhound buses". I bet you didn't know they built Greyhound buses in Detroit once upon a time. That city was too cold and snowy for me.

I don't know what happened to Detroit, but I wish it hadn't.

Mercy Lord:

***** the human race is destroying the planet we live on*****

This planet will be destroyed when the Sun dies and swallows the earth in it's death throes.  Man does not have the power to destroy this planet.   It's just shows man's arrogance when they say they will/can.

Destroying Homo Sapiens, is a different matter.   Insignificant in the total scheme of things.


***** prosperous city for the working class I have ever been to. Everybody it seems had a brand new car *****

Having a brand new car is not a sign of anything, except, the dealer sold you a car.   Which the finance company still owns.

***** The fact that a 16 year old autistic girl is blowing the loudest horn could be seen as Biblical intervention *****

I think her 15 minutes are just about up.   Thank you Jesus.

Cheers
