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.

Herd Immunity might be the last resort. Otherwise we will survive just to stand in the soup line.
No, no, no and no. That attitude could bring us exactly in the soup line.

Herd Immunity makes sense only when you know with what you are dealing with and you want to control the spread at the same time.

Noone has the full insight into the nature of this. It can mutate in unexpected forms and could go beyond any control. It is highly contagious and can spread fast and easy among large population. I mean, who would help everyone at the same time if that would happen. There would be chaos!
In addition, there would be countless number of individuals with permanent damage in health (and later would become certain ’burden’ to the entire system not just the health system). In short, if being off the leash, it can paralyze the whole system.

The answer is only, to prevent, to test, to prevent, to test, to prevent so that humanity can buy the time till vaccine appears.

No need to stop the life in complete. The economy would severley suffer. People (especially the stupid ones) has to be educated and in majority protected. But of course, how we can possibly protect anyone or prevent anything when we can’t even provide the toilet paper in the stores. Should I even mention protective masks, gloves, etc...They are talking about damn masks as if they were made out of gold. It must be since it’s impossible to get them and if you do, you’ll pay a lot for it.

And there is also this problem in USA:

Message: better to stay home and spread the virus

For some reason people mostly like this (health) system. I guess they like it because they hope that they will be among the rich ones who can afford extreme hospitals bills but sadly, it’s more likely that they will end up selling at least a house they live in and a kidney to cover their hospital bills.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
What bothered me was the summarily and almost contemptuous way he dismissed the 'old stuff'.   Like.....  yeah, yeah, yeah, we know all about them, now lets move on to the REAL Jazz players.   And who are they you might ask, well, read'em and weep.

   Snarky Puppy, Esperanza Spaulding, Jazzmeia Horn, Linda Mae Han Oh, Brad Mehldau, Adam Ben Ezra,

The Frogman's First law was written with them in mind.

Socialist Medicine benefits only the poor, in the sense that it’s better than nothing. Slightly better.

Don't believe all the propaganda about the US medical system.   When the leaders of all these socialist countries get sick, where do they run?

Thank you Mary_jo for a sensible post, it might stop my ranting and raving, I was about to go on another rant before I read your post.

People my age are dropping like flies; that's not exactly good news, plus I'm not feeling well after going out yesterday, but that's not totally unusual. (not feeling well)


Now they're arguing about ventilators! If I need a ventilator, the next guy down the line can have mine, I prefer someone to say the last rites.
How long do you think this virus had been circulating in China before they went public?

Cheers
