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, 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.
If you need to catch up on Ayn Rand, your first mistake was starting to read any of it at all.
The great mystery about Rand's books is whether they're more puerile as fiction or as philosophy.  It's a dead heat.
