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.

Good morning "pepper pod", I see you're still hot, plus you picked the hottest "Disco Queen" ever, Donna Summer. That gal incited more lust in me than I knew I had.

You have a vivid imagination, and I've got a "Star Kite", we'll take it for a spin.

"As with all stories of the First World War, the take away is the appalling indifference to the lost of human life. Mankind has changed in this regard."



You have got to be kidding. Rok, I'm beginning to see how you paint that picture book of yours any way you want it with total disregard for truth.


Nothing was more inhumane than the atrocities that occurred in Vietnam.
