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.

No, you should not quote him, or anyone else, for that matter, you should of course write your own experiences...about personal expressions thru making movies....looking forward to read all about it....(smile)

Good afternoon alex and mary_jo

Nice to see you two Croatian's are having a go at it. 

I have had a lot of bad experiences in my life and this is not the place for me to post songs that remind me of them and make me emotional. Just saying I understand MJ.

But that is what I did, wrote from my own little experience. I mean, you already saw the videos that I partly made (referring here to the work behind scene). It might not be big deal but software that is normally used in today’s movie making is used there. A lot of hard and interesting work.

Are you maybe jealous? Thinking who is she to talk like that? Smile. Well nobody prevents you from learning the material on-line. Some fine software is there and available for free. Good cameras are also within the reach unlike before. All in all you need quite modest budget to record short clips for instance. But you will need a will to do it, imagination and time of course...and I think I know what you will say now (I hear you) - if I can’t do the work like the great one does, better not to do it. But I disagree with you here. No matter what, you have to dare. That’s the first condition. Make your own shi*, damn it. And be proud of it. ’Cause it’s YOURS.

Remember the song? Of course you do...
