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.

If this don’t get you moving, go pick up your headstone.

Frogman, God as my witness. I went to U of MN, top 50 in the world , then U of WI top 25, 2 German U’s where you lived or died in a 3 hour grilling .If God made me the 1st human for a do-over at 18 and I could go to any U I wanted , I’d pick little SUNY Potsdam in the Adirondack foot-hills.

The Crane School has 650 students as does the U of MN School of music .There’s nothing I like better than to go to student recitals , may be the bias of a old man but at MN I hear (or did) competition, at Potsdam, cohesion .

The Mohawk’s claim one of earths power belts pass right under SUNY Potsdam . I used to argue with Indians, I don’t anymore with Native Americans .

Rok, if Gen. Perma can pull off the logistics of Warp after almost a total year of total neglect it might well be the greatest feat of the US Army
ever
.Gus looks like the man to me, if he pulls it off he will deserve the Medal of Honor . I’m praying for him and all logistical soldiers .
I got struck as Plt Sgt for few months in a Transport Co. hauling ammo . It ain't easy or safe .
