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.

I have too many defects to be enumerated here but jealousy was never in my list as dressed by others ... And i guess it is your case too ...

Anyway thanks for you recommendation stuartk ...

Luckily, records/cds don't display jealousy!

Anyone else love Tardo Hammer?  Listening to Look, Stop & Listen and it’s just great.

I meant, if you had a harem, you might have to contend with jealouly among the women, but this would never happen with your music collection, no matter how many records/CDs you own!   ;o)

Rereading my post i guess it suggest a misreading from my part... Remember english is not even a daily  spoken language where i live... All my life i never used english...

I only read science and philosophy  in english not even poetry or litterature ... Then my mastery is limited at lot ... I prefer to read Dickens in translation ... Slang words , Victorian idiom, the same for Mark Twain ...I read Peirce in english but he was not a great writer just a thinker with abstract vocabulary  ...

The greatest english writer i was able to read was Santayana , he was so mesmerizing to read , i loose the thread a couple times in ectasy with his style forgetting the deep content and he was born spanish  ... But it was an exception ...

I got your point for sure but answered as if not ...My fault ...
