End of August!? Doesn’t sound too “presto” to me.
It's the virus. The last Classical CD I ordered from Amazon, but shipped from the UK, took a month and a half to get here. Most of the planes are sitting on the ground.

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.

rok , what LvB String Sonatas do you have now? There is a review of the Ten in "The Gramophone Newsletter" this month on net with Faust / Melnikov they claim to be better than my old workhorses . Gumiaux/ Haskil (mono) and Oistrakh/ Pires on Phillips in great sound . Worse , there is a heavy article by Rattle and Elder on how Orchestra’s might not make it through the present mess . Also the boys in Brussels may ban all Americans with estimate of 200 K deaths by end of year . |
