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.

Schubert, there are millions of poor and very poor people in Germany France and Spain. And it is getting worse by the day, has been getting worse. Still not as bad as here but the direction is not all that different. And the UK is a total mess. Scandinavia is another matter but even there there are certain tendencies.
Orpheus10, not only super rich win, there are many who are well-heeled but not super rich. Even if many of them do serve super rich, one way or another.

On some of these pictures, Chico looks like a very old man, I'm not used to seeing him that way; this reminds me that I had better not look in the mirror.

Inna, I don’t know how things work where you are, but here, the politicians who are supposed to work for the people, in reality work for the corporations.

Almost all of the people who are still working, including doctors, who were independent before, now come under some kind of corporate umbrella. Mr. Big orders the corporate head to order the doctor, and that’s how the whip is popped.(But that's another secret that's only used under special circumstances)

As anyone can see, if the corporate heads own the politicians, we the people are screwed. No one is allowed to know this.
