There have been bloody islands in the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Illinois; this was one of them, but not the only one.

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.

Since the station I listen to is on the computer, I never use mine anymore, and that's why they are such a bargain. My computer is not connected to my rig, so I still use tuners. I have three of those 'cute' little Sony HD tuners, but one has started acting strange, has to be unplugged for a day or so, every day or so. Had to bring my Marantz out of the closet, where it has been for 11 years. Works great. Tuners are a great source of music for free. Cheers |
This is da blues! Too many notes. More like rock. This is da blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71Gt46aX9Z4 or even blues with strings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpC69qIe02E Cheers Btw, was the pic of the sax player Wayne Shorter? |
No turner is a bargain if it does not pull in what you'd enjoy listening to. My needs are simple. I listen to one station, the local college station. Reception is not a problem, in fact it's great. Since my Sony is failing, I just looked, and found out that there are not that many tuners available on the market. Seems it's Yamaha or NAD or used, and the used ones have excellent reputations. The Sony now sells for three times the original cost. Thanks for the response. Cheers McIntosh is way above my price point for a one station tuner. But they sure look good. |
