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.

Mary_jo you're human,  humans are going crazy where I am, and that's normal.

These events are stretching some people past the breaking point, and it's just beginning.


Stan Getz's horn has such a beautiful tone, and that's one of my favorite tunes. Good music is a necessity at a time like this.


I just read about the difficulties you're having there; stay safe.

I listen to this CD often. Every Sunday, just seems to be Sunday, sitting on the porch,  kind of music. Beautiful music, that reminds us of when we had a real crisis, and real leadership, in this country.

Best wishes to Aficionados everywhere, esp NYC.

I got cabin fever and went to the park not far away; I just wanted to get out of the house for some air. There was a guy in a white truck talking to a guy in a black truck way on the other side of a huge parking lot. After they talked for awhile, and the guy in the black truck left,  the guy in the white truck drove all the way to the side of the lot where I was. Sorry, I was not in the mood for company, which is very rare for me, but I left the park and came back home.

I surmised that the guy in the white truck probably lived by himself, and under normal conditions still socialized with a lot of people, but under these conditions was stressing out from being alone, and wanted someone to talk to.
