I never heard of Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones. His music takes me back to better times, I could listen to it all night, it's got the just right mixture of a lot of different time periods and genres, but all in the "Boogaloo Joe Jones" style.

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.

Orpheus, my father is about your age (b.41.) Before the start of all this, he used to walk miles, daily. (pedestrian to the core, never even owned the car) Just recently, for few days he did not leave the house. Nothing wrong with him, he is not beeing sick or anything. Just too much tv news and subsequent feeling of depression. If the weather conditions are not terrible, best thing you can do for yourself is to be active outdoors. The fear is the only thing one should be afraid of. Keegiam, Bogaloo has more than few good albums, chek him up.Pitty that he didi not played earlier.Posted this before... https://youtu.be/nQYEMJI7DcU |
