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.

So help me God , I did not know that Sept . 30, 2021 is a first Canadian Federal Holiday and will remain so .

Not a fun one but a remorse for what they did or allowed to happen to
the native children in the for and all else done on natives .

Canadian Judges have ruled that all still alive from the schools are to receive 40,000$

Not that great things will always be there , but Canadian Govt is trying and trying hard .

This is a stream from last night including those still alive , very
interesting to those who really care . Clips are mostly on CBC which
are not for You Tube . The Prime Minister comes in about .50 , if you don't hear his speech you are a fool  .
