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.

Rok, one of the things that made that movie "Christine" so powerful was the music; we didn't have tape players in the car in 57, so you listened to what ever was on the radio, and no matter what your genre of choice was, you heard the "soundtrack" from the movie "Christine" if you listened to the radio.

My uncle's Fury was creme and gold. Correction on how fast my cousin was driving, he was doing 120 for over the 100 mile trip, we made it back in 45 minutes.

Some Memories and associations:


Away from home for the first time at college. Some guys in the next room played this all night.

On the corner, outside a university hangout in Atlanta, in a crowd, listening to Mohammed Ali rant. This was playing in the drug store / soda shop.

Anything by these ladies brings me back to C-9-2, Ft Bragg, North Carolina. The year, 1967.

Club Mexicana, Frankfurt, Germany. Year was 1969.

That was the summer of "Smoke outs" in the park (Forest Park); what a delightful year. "At ease soldier, smoke em if you got em"

Rok, the effects of psychology, sociology, and economics are intertwined in a fashion that only highly educated people who have studied these things understand. Most people now days start off with answers before they ask questions, and politicians have answers that benefit them personally, which many people believe.

My short answer is to begin with economics and proceed from there. One can use "google" for that purpose.
