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.

Sign of the Times: All barber shops ordered closed in Texas.. My town, with 36,000 soldiers and their families and even more military retirees, can no longer get their hair cut. FTW!! The Governor did declare Gun Stores 'essential', so they remain open. Maybe he's thinking ahead. Esp given the beginning signs of 'social unrest' in Southern Italy. People have no jobs, no money and no food. Cannot stand for long. The president may have been on to something when he said the cure cannot be worst than the disease. Cheers |
Yes, very sad song. This is a good Italian song. Far from jazz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG05YzmmiCU |
I used to cut hair to my father. He could go to hairdresser though, but proclaimed once that the hairdresser gave him a very bad cut by making his ears bigger than they were. In his opinion, I was cutting hair better. I told him that if he could bear the risk of losing at least one ear, than we were good to go. He agreed and I started long career as the family hairdresser. You know, the difference between good and bad hairdresser is one week only. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCEl4FGVR7I |
