Happy New Year, Rok!
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.

Howdy y’all Well from what I have read, never mess with Texans. Tread lightly. :--) You folks talk funny. I like the way you play with words. You either miss or add the letter. And that accent. The way you make a pause before saying the next letter in a word. Cute. Y’o folk’ talk’ funna. I l’ke ’e ’ay y’ bein’ so ’conomicala witha w’rda. |
010, thank you for your kind words and for the music. Good vibe in written word helps but hate to disappoint you, I am not a princess type of a woman. I enjoy behaving ladylike but swear like angry coachman in my free time and do have difficult behaviour in general. I’ve been told that such things comes with an age. :--) Warm story with your thoughtful aunt...Since we are too much down to earth, it wouldn’t hurt us go back for a while, just to remember times when everything was possible and when fairy tales existed...Ice cream for free... https://youtu.be/HuCySPXQiY8 |
I had planned on going on a permanent "hiatus", but those plans have changed; after listening to some of the best music that I've ever heard in my entire life, the least I can do is respond to it.It's hard to resist these people O10. You wake up in the morning or you wish to have a good night sleep and you have a need to check what the gang posted... About living in the past, if you, by any chance, bump into 90s, I am sure you'll see me somewhere wandering around. I was little girl back then, but for some reason can't resist the smell of that time, wonderfully captured in this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnsmEWzakEw |
You have a quotation mark right above this box where you write your words in... https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-hms-vf-hr&ei=8y1lXtWrB-SkrgSc5oDIAw&q=quotat...: So you first write a line like I am writing this one. Then you select what you have written. Keep the line selected and hit the quotation mark. |
Or maybe this one “We’re gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy. But then we’re gonna do the finish rough,” she says. “That’s the way we do ‘Proud Mary.’ ” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TTfYnRQgKgY The way they dance, just love it, it's simply contagious (not sure is it good to use this word lately). And you have to move the same. That’s the rule when listenin’ the song. |
And from slower to faster, we are getting back to slower... She says: "We are gonna do this one together." Tina and David ~ Tonight https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p4WG_y7owmM |
O10, good to see you safe and sound. I knew you were strong enough to overpower the kidnapper. If I am not mistaken, you have mentioned Tina somewhere in your recent postings. I appreciate Tina, to put it mildly. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcm-tOGiva0 |
Everything’s gonna be alright tonight... Prefer calmer version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fuEuO6zJnIU |
That guitar is a wild animal that decided to be in peace with humans...thank you pjw for that song. Allegedly Wes said: “I never practice my guitar. From time to time I just open the case and throw in a piece of raw meat." I am tellin' ya... More of Wes... https://youtu.be/djFKy5N15Mk |
Good way to use the paper towel: https://giphy.com/gifs/coronavirus-dWHlF0xirrRAPoxo2q It will not protect you from others but you may protect others from yourself. Meaning, if everybody (!) would wear this, the risk could be reduced to certain level. I might be wrong but still... |
I was invited to move to LA, and it was most impressive; those "Golden sunsets" on a clear day were too much for words; the sun took forever to set. Not like everywhere else where now you see it now you don't; The Sun takes forever to sink into the Pacific, and in the meantime it casts a most beautiful "Golden glow" on everything, and everything has a golden tint. Same here...when the bright yellow star paints the sky and becomes one with the sea. A magical moment that with an ease makes changes inside of you. As if you are touched with something that is calm, nice and tender. Love it. Someone could paste an appropriate jazz clip now...:-)) |
