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.

Urban dictionary says that Lush life means a life of luxury with an exciting night life, a sophisticated outlook, and plenty of partying. At the moment I lead none of this but I have vivid imagination.

Wish you all nice evening. It’s evening here so it must be everywhere.

Mary_jo, going back in time to when I was young makes me feel good; if Rok and Schubert were born old and have no memories of when they were young; tuff stuff, I say don't spoil mine.

Maybe it also offended Rok.


Far from it. I find the teenage love escapades of you and the Jazz Queen, absolutely riveting. I can’t turn away.

Maybe you two could take a cold shower, not together, and then we could get back to Jazz.  I got a new Jackie McLean today.

Cheers

I have memories , but perhaps not as many as most .

I was born wise enough to know women are not here for me to play
with.
Every time you have sex with someone you give them some of yourself .

Do it enough and you end up with nothing to give .


I have gone as far as telling women who asked ME for a one-nighter
why it would not be for good for them when I really would have liked to.

Those are good memories .
