Pjw, you understand what you want to understand, and don't understand what you don't want to understand.
You don't even understand that the US and Brazil are two different places.
I understand what was, is, and will always be.
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.

010 With all respect I am not trying to have a war of words with you but your very defensive answers, in which you are belittling me while not answering with primary sources your opinion/firm belief? absolutely nothing that came from Africa survived US slavery? And your opinion/firm belief? that traditional African tribal music has vanished entirely from Africa after the centuries of the slave trade. Is there any way you can support this with facts from primary, secondary or tertiary sources? And if this is true how could Blakey learn African drums if it has disappeared, as you contend from prior posts, from the African continent after the centuries of the slave trade. I understand what was, is, and will always be.Well then I guess my time is wasted since you understand all. Please leave the personal insults out of your replies. |
So, let me get this straight, O-10. According to your own words, you claim to “being able to distinguish various African rhythms“ due to your DNA; even though you are from a different continent and live centuries later. Yet, the DNA of African slaves, the very folks who lived those rhythms in Africa, and their descendants had that DNA completely erased when brought to the America’s. Got it! |
ROOTS IN AFRICA Describing the African-American influence on American music in all of its glory and variety is an intimidating—if not impossible—task. African-American influences are so fundamental to American music that there would be no American music without them. People of African descent were among the earliest non-indigenous settlers of what would become the United States, and the rich African musical heritage that they carried with them was part of the foundation of a new American musical culture that mixed African traditions with those of Europe and the Americas. Their work songs, dance tunes, and religious music—and the syncopated, swung, remixed, rocked, and rapped music of their descendants—would become the lingua franca of American music, eventually influencing Americans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. The music of African Americans is one of the most poetic and inescapable examples of the importance of the African American experience to the cultural heritage of all Americans, regardless of race or origin.
