"Jazz not War"?
They aren't mutually exclusive, so lets have both.

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.

Mary_jo, I don't live in the past, I just have memories of the past; Rok lives in the past. I think he knew something like this would raise me from the dead. That war was fought for a reason, the only reason for this perpetual war now is to enrich the war machine, and they keep going back to that time in order to justify it. While the "macaroni brains" dwell on the past, the Military industrial complex sucks up tax dollars like a vacuum cleaner, and if there is anything left it goes to the corporations, leaving nothing for the citizens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83pK5q53_Xc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sP8lx1M9Zo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIGNUQnfT0Q I worked with Larry Rice in St. Louis to help the homeless in the 80's, I know something about homelessness; what's happening today is totally absurd; this has never happened before in my life time. Macaroni brained people blame it on the homeless for being homeless. Let me tell you; if me, you or anybody else were made homeless, it wouldn't take long for us to have very serious mental problems and self medicate. So when you see a homeless person talking to himself; just think, that person could be you if the fickle finger of fate deemed it to happen. I can't rest because I know the reasons why so many people are homeless; the primary reasons go back about 20 years. |
Today’s Listen: Don Pullen -- KELE MOU BANA For our beloved OP. Skimpy, but informative foldout notes. Recorded in NYC 1991. I didn’t think Pullen could play music like this. Normally he is way, way out there. Even past Trane. Carlo Ward on Alto sax. kele mou bana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAMUT2k6ziM doo-wop daze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63X5AAQtp_I cimili / drum talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M64A9ERluA capoeira https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id3ZmM3a7tM Very nicely done.
