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.

That's right Frogman, "Henchmen". When more than one gangs up on me, I call it a mob, and since you are the leader of the mob, they are your henchmen.

Tactic #1, when you have absolutely nothing substantial for an argument, go off on a tangent, your favorite tactic.


Neither you or your (what ever you want to call them) have addressed the question of what happened to the African Culture after they landed on these shores, and you won't because you can't. You and your (whatever) can only go around in endless circles of "Pontification".

Since it is quite evident that the only way for me to stop this is to throw up the white flag of surrender; I give, you win.

I am not taking sides here. As I stated above what I posted is just my opinion and I am entitled to that. As long as I am not saying that my opinions are facts and that every one else is wrong.
