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.

A wise person once told me...Do not believe anything you hear and believe only a half of what you see...

Marvin Gaye's delivery of that saying is one of the great line deliveries in the history of pop music.  I feel it every time I hear it.  Delivery and message just match perfectly.

Mary_jo, I'm on an indefinite "hiatus", that I just broke in order to respond to your inquiry; however, this is only temporary for a VIP.

When someone says "Georgia", to me, that means Atlanta. I hope that city is still as nice as I remember it, that's a city I gave serious consideration to making home. Once you leave that little patch of skyscrapers downtown, you get into the Georgia Pines and that sweet smell on a moonlit summer night.

My musical offering to you is from an album I consider to be in the top ten;
