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.

For all of my friends here at JFA please do yourself a great favor by becoming a free member of the Audio Science Review forum here

Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum

I have been a member for a while and it has become my favorite audio information site. It will save you a lot of money going down the "Audiophile Rabbit Hole" The forum creator, Amir, is an electrical engineer professional with a lifelong career in the field.

Just search there professionally measured reviews on audio gear. Joining is free and you will be thankful if you do.

Just check out a few of the reviews on cables like interconnects, speaker and AC cables as well as "power conditioners" A WARNING - It may shock some of you...

I very much doubt any of us will be "shocked" --  Amir's cult is, by now, quite well known around here.

Why would you call thousands of avid audio enthusiasts, all over the world, who are members of ASR, hundreds besides Amir who are employed in the audio/video industry, some who are owners/manufacturers of AV gear a cult??

The measurements of thousands of gear reviews are all out in the open and transparent for anyone who desires to investigate.

Could you elaborate on your perceived "cult status" of AVR?

I find it hard to listen to people without ears.
