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 OP, I do not have that. My computer and stereo system are completely separate. No connection at all. No need, since they are in the same room. Apparently you are more advanced than I am. I am not even sure what 'streaming' is. I have a sound card in my computer and Logitech Z-623 speakers. The speakers are awesome. The only computer music I listen to are the music clips submitted on aficionados, and rarely, CDs played in the computer drive. My rig is as basic as it gets. Cheers |
In 1960, I bought "Mingus Ah Um Charles Mingus" and I only had a one box record player in one room at the barracks, and I enjoyed it very much. I have a high end rig now, and I'm still enjoying it. I would rather listen to the music posted on this thread on a one box record player, than listen to the music posted elsewhere on this forum on the best rig in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7hoX7golZI&list=PLiN-7mukU_REK9zBMvZoNERNvhovxnsE5 |
When discussing audio gear, I always think of a photo I once saw of the group, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. They were sitting on folding chairs, apparently at rehearsal, between them, on the floor, was a plastic record player playing a LP. They were listening very intently. I often wondered about what they were listening to / for. If they could hear / get what they needed from that, then my Thorens / SME was just fine. Cheers |
