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.

Great tracks, thanks Mr. Frog.  Despite your warning that the second was faster, I was still surprised by the degree.

Being a relative newbie, I'm a little concerned with the fall-off in posting.  Kind of selfish since I've been soaking it up, and my life has gotten crazy again.  Maybe the long-time members can provide perspective - was the OP an "attention vortex"?  Too many henchmen?  Seasonal?

I am listening this all day. And I think I will cry. :--)
Because of the beauty of the song.

Of the beauty that I can see from my window today.
Sunset playing tenderly with clouds.
The play reveals in all kinds of colours.
Un Amore Grande between sun and clouds. ~~~

Or it is something in me?

I hope things will be better for you soon. 

We are here already for quite a while. Top team is here from the beginning so it is like in love, at first is passionate and lovers are very busy with their hands typing...they want to get to know each other better and they type and type...

When they fall in love things become slower, they already know so much about each other that typing at some point becomes sufficient because they know what the other one will type as soon as one put their computer on. 

For you
