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.

Nina Simone was earning money as a pianist in a cocktail lounge in order to pay for her continued education as a concert pianist when she was told to "sing for her supper", so to speak; the rest is history. Her education as a concert pianist enables her to incorporate classical music like no other pianist; you can't tell where the classical begins and the jazz ends, or vice versa, she does it so smoothly. Now you can begin to appreciate this unique aspect of her art, just as I have for many years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CZFZS1y2Wg |
Are you familiar with this series? I think it's very good, esp because he tells what's going on, all over the war on any particular day. Seems to be well researched. Very balanced accounts. Check it out.Yes rok I am. I get most of my info from reading books by respected authors/historians of the history I am studying. These authors use primarily primary sources. If you like the web though I suggest these 2 guys as well as the one you mentioned. (10) A closer look at the New Stalingrad CITY MAP, plus new Stalingrad Schedule (Addendum 8) - YouTube (10) German Squad Tactics in World War 2 - YouTube You can subscribe to them and always be up to date. Happy New Year! |
