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.

Pryso. saw few posts deleted where Schubert and Rok traded jabs.
Posted 'social distance in a bar fight after'...
As Rok said, perhaps the writers got sober..but, than again, we know that Schubert is not drinking, so unless there is some twist there, my guess is that moderators did it, but the criteria is still unclear sometimes...

rok, one of my deleted posts was simply a link to a classic blues performance with double entendre lyrics.  That was quite popular at one time.

The other was simply a correction to a reference that mentioned a trombonist being male when in fact it was a female.

In my mind both posts were simply straight forward information, not political or otherwise suggestive.  They were historical and factual.  What can I say?

I assume there may be a list of key words which get flagged for review and possible deletion.

I can’t imagine anyone is monitoring all the posts on all Forum sites!

But that doesn’t explain posts that disappear but are not noted as being removed.
