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 , you don’t have imagine a country where population is middle class and every single citizen has enough .Just buy a ticket to Denmark , happiest country in the world . And it is very Capitalist .

There has never been a Socialist country , a Dictator calling it one don’t make it one .

The greatest socialist act in human history is the 20 trillion $ US Capitalism transfer from private loss to public debt of same in last decade .
P.S . In a Presidential election Electoral College insures that a 100 votes in TX are less than 1 in Ohio . Only Republic in History with one . Or dumb enough to .

Back to tunes please , last thing of this nature I’ll post , Game is over , we lost , end of story .

Schubert, on this Thanksgiving day, you have done your part as a humanitarian by exposing how Washington DC, enabled the richest of the rich to rob the poorest of the poor. That money they gave to those corporations that were too big to fail, belonged to everyone.
