Well, at least Mozart gave credit to Haydn, to the best of my knowledge that's more than Stravinsky ever gave Scarlatti .
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.

Rok, we've been down this avenue before, they complain about the sociologist and the historian, so we give them the floor; now where are they? Mary-jo has no complaints, so we're going to carry on. I'm going to begin with one of my favorite damsels, Anna Maria Jopek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iSiPjbS8_Q |
I posted straight up "Hard Bop" jazz tunes yesterday, at 11:35 AM, and nobody commented, but they had something to say about "sociologists and historians", plus Schubert had a comment about New York in 1880 that I'm still trying to get a grip on. Now I remember, it was very violent; that was the relevance. These are the 4 "Hard-Bop" tunes I posted yesterday, maybe somebody can comment on them today. Although Blakey recorded in 59, this is the first time I heard it, and I already bought it. None of these are exotic with an African drum beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw_8i22pBcs&list=PLUJ7V33M1wR0kn82R1Xp6WwvZ47aK-2BP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_0wBTUvM6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__OSyznVDOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo0P2YugUnU Enjoy this music. |
Just some friendly food for thought: I think it would be most positive and productive if ego and defensiveness would not so completely trump a willingness to at least consider the possibility that there is something new to learn; especially in the face of so much evidence to support the opposing point of view. As an alternative, how about presenting evidence as a rebuttal; or, comments re why it is ok to misrepresent an important and fundamental aspect of what the thread is about to be begin with? If none of that is possible for any reason, how about simply keeping the dialogue going forward free of sarcasm? In other words....reasonable and mature and just moving on. Just food for thought.
