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.

In the colors of love today...

She was one of those people who thought that the main characteristic of love was permanence. Perseverance, persistence, you name it. Not a passion or sudden enthusiasm, but simple permanence. Persistence to last.

When you want to fix things if needed and when you show the desire to understand them. That kind of persistence. That allows you to grow.

Mary_jo, your post was a fantastic way to start my day. When one reaches the age of maturity, permanence is chosen over flaming passion.


I enjoyed each one of your links; they speak to the people who can be spoken to, the people who have love for all mankind.

Greyhound, that was a cool groove; it had that laid back Caribbean flavor, as in the Islands. It's on my list.

Acman, Gregory Porter is a vocalist who compels you to stop and listen; besides having a fantastic voice, the words to his songs are so relevant.
