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.

You are correct Frogman. Hell, The Frogman is always correct. Temper Tantrum / Pouting session over. And as you said, maybe it wasn’t me after all. Could have been the Jazz Queen. :)

Not that I recognize myself...
:--)

I do not know what frogman is talking about but I guess that you wrote something about not coming back. I was about to write the same but eventually did not publish it and Alex calmed me down. I actually was cool until I saw the reason of the removal. My usually lower blood pressure went quickly high. :-)

Still, I am not sure how to behave from now on, this was quite inconsiderate act from audiogon. Simple and kind warning should have been enough. We are not kids, ok, maybe Rok only, but the rest of us would have surely understood the message. :-)

Yes, Mary_Jo, that is what I was talking about; a post that was also deleted. Personally, I consider the posts deleted over the years ample warning. As I recently told my upset kid (son), sometimes it’s best to kill them (Agon) with kindness instead of indignation. Works both ways; and it did work.  I’m glad our happy little family is back.

Btw, I do like “fro”. Please don’t shoot the messenger 😊

I so like this song fro, thank you. :--)

You teach your son well. I do agree with you but sometimes my bad temper overpowers me, although I've been known as diplomatic type. It should be other way around, hasty when young, reasonable and more calm when older. I mixed up something.
