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.

I heard the  Bickersons 369 times . Was VERY popular in late 40's.
I don't think it was on in Yugoslavia .
Schubert, you may take a look at this few short clips that I found on ytube, just for curiosity

:--)) pryso, thank you for that. I know now what I will listen today. I do not remember that we had Bickersons here...




I have to post it here again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RRnCnO1Y2c&feature=youtu.be
Man, those were the days of our lives. What a nice video, where did you dig that from...

Where I can go now to get at least the small part of it since all would be impossible to find?

Where? Tell me. I’ll give you cookie. Then, you’ll talk.
Well, the title itself could be disturbing for some,ha,ha, but I have chosen clips that were made by american authors.

As for 'the days', you were a kidd in those days, so some nostalgia that you might have may just be related to your childhood.
I am quite sure that todays children will have pleasent memories on this moment in time, no matter that rest of the world might not share their emotions.
Save the cookie, I eat sweets only in special occasions,ha,ha
