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.

Inna, that is fantastic piece and video clip. Those photos, the atmosphere and the music that goes along, that is precisely what I am looking for. I can't figure out why my jazz guru never sent me that...

Mary_jo, I fall in love very easily, but before I fall in love with you, tell me you're not "skin and bones"; I have an aversion to skinny women. Never mind that you're in love with Rok, that doesn't matter. I just don't want to fall in love with a skinny woman.
O-10, that is very kind of you but I have to disappoint you because I am definitely not the type you're looking for. Alex saw me in live, I am not his type, Fro saw me on the internet while performing, he says that I am ok, but every woman with a proper make up and under proper light looks ok. So, with an average look and very bad temper, this woman advise you better to run and hide while you still can. :-) Only the men that like my specific type (I do not fulfil this first condition with you), older than me, very wise and extremely self-confident can handle all this, others I simply "destroy". Ok, not like that but it is not far from that.

Other than that, I am quite lovely. :---)))
