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.

Call her anything, just don't call her late for Supper.

A sad day for anyone who loved Berlin and flew into it’s airport(Tegel) in last 60 years . Very sad for me as I did at least a hundred times (sob) . Just cuting onions.
New one (BER) Willy Brant is 18 kilometers SE from city center, Tegel was 5 north .

If Americans ever get the green light to fly to Germany again in my lifetime I will be there if its the last thing I ever do. On Lufthansa 747 out of Chicago ! In First Class !!
Flew into Tegel a dozen times 12-13 years ago.  Very handy to the City.  So much history there - fascinating place.
Call her anything, just don't call her late for Supper.

Another romantic statement. The night ist still young...if you keep on going like that, I might even fall in love till midnight...
