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.

**** Women - mostly pretty. ****

Well, we knew that! 😊

I may have mentioned this at some point. My youngest son’s babysitter was the oldest daughter of a Croatian family that lived on our block. Some of the most wonderful and righteous people I have ever met (the girl is stunningly beautiful). The parents recently moved back to Croatia to their house in the country side. We have an open invitation to visit and hope to make it happen sometime. Sounds like a wonderful place.

To be honest, aldo we have foreigners living here (they are quite domesticated now) I am surprised that we do not have much more of them, retired people at least.
I wonder the same thing.

Schubert, there are many private health practicies where you can get all the services that you need (to be honest, also much faster than from the oners sponsored by state)

Again, prices in comparation to the ones from the west (or better from the US) are not even 'in comparation' (much, much cheaper)
The general quality of those medical services is up to western standards

As for the major interventions, I know that foreigners are not charged for any interventions that occurs as a result of an accident (car crashes, etc) and the taking care of such people is not delayed because they are foreigners.

For continues medical treatments (for some chronical illnes) I could check and let you know.

As for religious needs, I am not an expert there, but just checked the web, here is what I found about the churches you asked for (in Zagreb)

There is an evangelistic lutheran church, baptist church and anglican church, with mass on english language, held 2 every second Sunday. 

Of course among all others as well. 

Let us know if you have any other questions (you can write me or Mary Jo on pm if you wish)

As we come to July 1 and 4th , the birthday of 2 lands I love , this year I am praying for the sailors of both nations who died in WW II .
An American Admiral wrote in "Naval Proceedings "the American Naval bible, a now famous article that showed how the Canadian ships that took the merchant ship convoys out of the Canadian ports  to the the Russian Port Of Murmansk
when  other Navies would  not , as the lost of ships and sailors escorting the
the huge amounts of American supplies , without which the Red Army
might not been able to do the heavy lifting that defeated the Germans  were heavy .Here is what they looked like . And the Hymn of the American , British
Canadian Navies .

And the seas were at least that bad for the last thousand miles .
P.S , The American Admiral stated, that man for man , those Canadian Sailors did more in WW II to win the war than any one else .
