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.

If this happens to be the truth, just to let you know guys, Azithromycin (our code name Sumamed®) is an antibiotic developed by a team of Croatian pharmaceutical experts from the PLIVA drug factory. Pliva was (now belongs to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd/Israel) one of the biggest Croatian drug factories.

According to Wiki, in the year 2016 this medicine was the 49th most prescribed medication in the United States with more than 15 million prescriptions.

Mary_jo, the best place for you to be is here, and here is where you belong. You can come "here" whenever you feel like it, and share your thoughts and feelings; you can share your music whether it's jazz or not.

I would like to share some music with you that's not jazz. This music takes me back to the very best time in my entire life; it was when I felt the most secure, it was before I knew anything about this horrible world in which we live, it was when my favorite aunt read me fairy tales from a  thick white jewel encrusted book.

She would take off her big diamond ring that I liked to twist and turn under the light to see it sparkle while I nestled snugly in the crook of her arm. Fairy tale land was where all things were possible and there was always magic in the air, and that's where we were going.

"Andreas Vollenweider" takes me back to that time;

I saw him live once where I had a seat center mezzanine in a big theater, it was like being in the center of a gigantic speaker. I brought long range, and wide angle binoculars so that I wouldn't miss anything; the percussionist alone had a truckload of equipment and watching him was both enchanting and hypnotic.

No one knows better than me what a horrible world in which we live, and that was before the virus. I choose to leave it whenever I feel like it, and you can be my "Jade Princess" and come with me. I know Rok will object, but so what.

We have only just began our journey into other worlds between here and there.
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...

Mary_jo you're human,  humans are going crazy where I am, and that's normal.

These events are stretching some people past the breaking point, and it's just beginning.


Stan Getz's horn has such a beautiful tone, and that's one of my favorite tunes. Good music is a necessity at a time like this.


I just read about the difficulties you're having there; stay safe.
