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.

Just yesterday I ordered two Sinatra CDs.   One with Basie at the Sands in Vegas.
My first Sinatra, my umpteenth Basie.

Cheers

“ at the Sands”,  great choice.  That’s the one!  “Q”, music director.
People are mad, absolutely mad.

You have probably heard of 5G network being the one to blame for the spread of virus (among other things).

5G operates (spectrum from 700 MHz and 3,5 GHz and 26 GHz - EUnion) within the frequencies of the visible light which we are all exposed to on daily basis (first picture on this web page) so if the visible light does not kill us nor 5G will:

Also, even the sparrows know what is going on behind the scene of any confrontation. Fight for profit of course. Mostly. Forget the stories about the wars that started because of the beautiful women. It’s about the money. Has been and always will be. So if you know who invented the 5G (ask Gogo if you don’t know) and if you can guess who is interested to take it away (not hard to guess) you will know why all this fuss is designed for.

Happy Labor day to all.
I hope we will soon start working.
In 5G turbo mode.

Mary_jo, "Stupidity" is the first virus; it has had a long head start on COVID-19, and apparently it’s just as contagious; some people are drinking bleach to cure COVID-19, I wonder what they drink to cure stupidity?
