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.

Lovely music guys.

My jukebox is working overtime this evening and will continue so during whole night. Tv is on, with jazz programme called "Time for jazz".

But it is almost 2 o’ clock after midnight and I think I will switch to earphones. Guys are still jamming on tv, but in a silent way.

I need jazz so badly now. That’s the only music (besides pop 70s, 80s), that has power for healing process. I must sadly confess that somehow, rock music has become too heavy for me.

I am dropping a coin...

Some things just have to be done this way. Sometimes I forget it. Luckily there is this gorgeous music to remind me of it:

Not that long ago, I watched very emotional story in a movie with Hilary Swank in a main role. I usually avoid watching movies like that, life itself is full of such reality, there is no need for screen pictures to remind me of it but this one captured my attention so deeply that I promised myself, as if I am f**** teenager, that I will try not to be unkind to a single person in my life. Today I broke that rule.

Luckily, with each day, one has a chance to do the same again.

People in the bar are not happy with my choice of the music so will have to switch on something else before the idea of me being outside the bar, is born in their minds...

I think that the guys in the corner are not happy with what I am saying...
