Keegiam, for knowing what's happening, I'm going to play for you, a little "Saigon Phunk";

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.

Keegiam, I didn't know this guy, but my friends knew him. He got back from Nam in one piece, and everybody was so glad to see him that they wanted to take him out and celebrate. Since I was always up for a party; I said ,"Let the good times begin". We partied all over the city all night long, and since nobody wanted to go home, we wound up at a deserted filling station on a bright Sunday morning drinking out of brown paper bags. I thought the guy was a little quiet, and his friends said he wasn't quite himself. All night he hadn't talked too much, but now he started talking. "I think I'm going back" he said. "I miss the jungle, I miss the excitement; yall just don't know what it's like, it's like a permanent ride on a roller coaster, I'm going back" His friends looked at him in a state of shock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biGcO_QPjN0 |
