there are as many realities as there are people.
Nonsense I say. The sum of it all is THE reality.

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.

O-10, I like the way you think. I do agree with you since I sense you are talking about human perception of the reality rather than Rok’s definition of reality from Cambridge Dictionary which is not wrong but simply does not fit this context. The problem of perception is presented way before, already with an old Plato and his Allegory of the Cave. Plato teaches us always to question that for what we think is real by presenting us the picture of the men in cave. Men who are deeply in the cave can only see shadows on the walls of a cave and they think of them to be REAL due to fact that they are not aware of or do not have any knowledge of any other world different from the one they are in. Besides "revealing’ one’s opinion on reality, Plato is also offering the stages of awareness one has to go through but to avoid longer post here, you can check on allegory also in wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave But I am quite sure you are already familiar with all this. Can’t help myself. I love philosophy. Moderators, this is about history of jazz. |
A person's perception of reality does not change or define reality. A homeless person sleeping under a bridge in the South Bronx, and A billionaire Hedge fund manager, may have different experiences of living in NYC, but they BOTH represent the same reality of living in the same city. As does everyone in between. Cheers |
