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.

:)) schubert, how is it from USA to Southeastern Europe (lovely Balkan)? Any travel restrictions from your side? I am expecting guests from USA soon.
Only shows what US does to folks coming in , no doubt assumes we are

Best bet is have you friends call National Passport Info center ,toll free , 1-877-487-2778.

Those from the entire Schengen area has to do 14 days quar. here.Only Slovenia which many still think of as Balkan is on that .So does UK and Ireland but not dear Russia .

I imagine Zagreb is safe bet but I won’t go anywhere these days without being sure .
P.S . if the c-19 is ever lifted there is a little Air Line called Air Canada . 2 way to Toronto , 2 way to rest of world .

Frogman,

Concertgebouw in the age of the virus. What changes, if any, are required in how they play, if social distancing is in effect. Will the sound of the orchestra be affected? They sound normal, to me, on this clip.

Note that a few of the string players are wearing masks.

Cheers

It shows your deepest and undying love for Russia. USA <3 ♡ Russia

"Stay" it whispered...

"Stay"...

"Dream a little dream of me..."
