Rok, it doesn't matter whether one thinks, or does not think of one's ancestry, it is what it is.
I should think that the inner city is a lot better than the cotton fields of Texas or Mississippi.
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.

Obfuscation by way of a torrent of irrelevant data and presumptions. Isn’t it interesting how sometimes a person hears only what they want to hear. An interview over one hour long with one passing reference (with interesting factual example) to an Irish rhythm that crept into the melting pot and all of a sudden that becomes “(all that) they talk about”. Maybe you were correct after all, Alex. For at least one party it is about politics. |
My thoughts exactly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIYEekrJNEA Cheers That Frogman sure don't like facts. |
I never once missed the Alvin Ailey dance troupe when they came to town; spectacular! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW979KNVwIw |
While there is no ambiguity, in my mind at least, of the origination of modern jazz; since that time, there have been contributions from all over the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5QfXjsoNe4 |
