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.

Misinformation and Facts about Secularism and Religion

All bogus.

Crime and murder rates in the so-called Southern Bible Belt have nothing to do with Bibles or Religion.  Can't say what is the cause, without incurring the wrath of the moderators.

A person's perception of reality does not change or define reality.
Sure. Sun will not go down just because you have written this. That's the reality. P does goes deeper than of what's obvious to see but never mind because...

Mary_jo I have a busy day today. I will review your music later on.


In regard to this reality; "it is because they say it is, and they have been saying it is for generations". .

Although a manufactured reality, when everybody in a city or state, says it is, that becomes a reality of sorts.

That's true 0-10. If you are in it way too long, you come think of it as the only thing you have and will ever have. Sad story but more common than we would like to acknowledge to ourselves.
