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 wouldn't want to listen to anybody all day, but the question is, "What elicited that statement."

Gene Ammons ranks with the top musicians of all time, and I believe this website establishes  his credentials;

Inna and Schubert, have either one of you heard of Vanessa Mae? I posted her way back in relation to caravans; she is "Classical" and neither one of you commented, what gives; must be "donnybrook" night.

Alright, let's just stop that.
This is very far from jazz, any definition of it. And it is a dance.

shubert,

It is indeed ironic that you would acutely sense popular indifference toward another's opinions (be it true or not) but are completely oblivious to the same toward your own.

Rest assured Dave, I am fully aware of my own many faults and foibles. And others reactions to them .
If you bothered to read what I said, that Ammons has a ton of talent but is not someone I would want to listen to all day , no reasonable person would consider that a put down hard or otherwise . Or come to the conclusion,from those few words., that I am oblivious to anything .
My conclusion on O-10 is the result of a thousand comments of that nature.and worse, by O-10. Often to people whose only goal is to help him .

I never make  a comment to anyone to hurt them but in the hope they will come to their senses , unlikely as that may be . I always pay attention and always have done so .
