Frogman, the smartest people in this country are "White"; the dumbest people in this country are "White"; the richest people in this country are "White"; the poorest people in this country are "White"; I believe you could call this a "White" country; would you disagree with that.
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.

t has progressed beyond childish and tedious to generally unpleasant, becoming a good reason not to follow this thread or at least your contributions to it.***** Well, I certainly would not want to diminish the interest of potential contributors to the thread. Maybe what I need is a short 'Time Out'. However, I will be 'lurking'. Cheers |
Rok, "Jazz" is music from the soul, it's about what you feel, it does not require your intellect. Trombone Shorty is playing the jazz of the Southern Ghetto of New Orleans; he is pouring out his frustrations and desires through his music. Those Southern musicians were always very honest in their music; just as "Trombone Shorty" is. I will be listening and commenting more on "Trombone Shorty". |
Frogman, truce; I was listening to this, and I wondered what you would think about it; I considered it beautiful music without considering "genre"; that's not always important. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxiMprePISA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygb-JDuAYOo |
As usual, in the absence of a sound argument, ridicule becomes the fallback position. The shame in all of this absurdity is that, because of an inability to accept and deal with one's limitations, the real greatness, complexity and depth of this art form and it's history is missed. How ironic is that? There are two kinds of people, and as concerns this thread, listeners: one type of listener loves the music and embraces the fact that how much there is to learn about this music is practically endless; and, understands that only with this attitude can the deepest appreciation of this music be possible. Humility in deference to the music. The other type of listener loves the music, but loves the fact that he loves the music even more. He identifies with it in a way that lets personal issues color (sorry) the reality of everything from the actual qualiy of the music to the obvious significance of the fact that every serious commentator and practitioner of that very music holds a viewpoint different from his own. Duke, Armstrong, Coltrane, Bird, Wynton and everyone else are wrong and he's right because he knows better; HE "knows the truth". |
