Maybe they had a right to be.I agree.
Awesome music.

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 listen to beautiful music all day every day; all night every night; it keeps me blissfully ensconced in the past. I have 3 rigs; one in the main listening room, one in the basement, and one in the bedroom; they are all fed from the computer in the basement; consequently, the music is the same all over the house. While there is a separate preamp and amp in each case, the line level signal is the same on all three. Up to 60 feet of line transmission can be accomplished by using ethernet cable with baluns on each end. https://www.amazon.com/ethernet-cable/s?k=ethernet+cable There are other ways of running line level signals long distances that give the same result as running a line level signal 3 feet. They cost about the same and give the same good results. When I go from the basement (work projects) to the listening room, and finally to the bedroom, the same music is playing. This music enables me to live in the past, decades into the past, and relive my most glorious times; thank God for the past; can I get an amen on that brother, or sister. "Tammy's Breeze"; this takes me back to 1960, and my cousin had just bought a brand new 88 Oldsmobile, which I knew I could borrow to impress beautiful young ladies; what a wonderful past time; much fun was had by all. Erlene was her name and I shall remember her always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v--G29uMrY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JSAq-gspJk |
69 was a very good year; as a matter of fact it was the best Summer of my life, although I didn't know it at that time; one can never assess the present until it's past. Some of the very best musicians I've ever heard aren't famous, and that was the case with Eddie Fisher, guitarist. He played at a place called "Mothers", that I frequented every night he was there. It was a stylish place with good food (Best steaks in town) and jazzy people, and to top it all off, it had Eddie Fisher; he was the only musician I've ever heard who could play one tune so many different ways that I never got tired of it; I listened to it all Summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e5FVMt0FVw We liked Eddie so much that we told him to go on the road and become famous, but he knew better; he declined the road. Later on, I discovered fame does not always mean fortune; case in point, "Grant Green". http://www.stlamerican.com/news/obituaries/guitarist-eddie-fisher-passes-at/article_022d92a2-4584-5b... |
