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.

It is funny, at least to me, how any given song is "OWNED" by a particular singer, to one's self personally.
Well said...

Man does not live by BBQ and corn bread alone. Nothing like a nice candlelight dinner sometimes.

Good morning everybody. It's morning here so it has to be everywhere.

Speaking of being Mississippi-ish, here is old one for you...

Spelling Mississippi

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.

The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of he men say the following:

"Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."

"You foul mouthed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm
just tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'."

Pretty funny. 

Hey, why not? Staying on that politically incorrect bus and speaking of candle light dinners:

Q: What’s the most popular pick up line in Mississippi?

A: Hey, nice tooth

**** where I come from, we use candlelight only if somebody is dead or if power supply is down...:--) ****

What?! That is horrible. No candle light?! No sweet nothings in one’s ear?! No footsies?! NO NANCY WILSON?!!!

You continue to crush my fantasy. Now that it doesn’t matter at all I can safely let you know one thing: I have all my teeth.

Somehow, I feel better; like a weight has been lifted. Thank you. Hey, speaking of down power supplies:

Q: Did you hear about the power outage at the Mississippi State University library?

A: Thirty students were stuck on the escalator for three hours.
