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.

Everyone is here, who is saying what? :---) I am following what Rok is posting, it is just that my guests and partners at work are annoying me a lot. I do not have any energy left after they finish with me. I like to recheck things at work because I know how people are lazy and easy going. I recheck because I like to be sure that there are no mistakes. When I ask my business partners to send me certain info: I ask twice, are you sure, are you completely sure? They say yes. Ok, I say. So I give the same info to our client. I sign the contract, I put my signature for what I have said to them. Then I get back to my partners. I say again (!): I said that and that what you told me. All clear and fine, shall we proceed? Their response: Oh, no, that is false information, please inform the client that such thing is not true! ***** And then I go mad, completely mad! Since I work with many people, they do that to me quite often. Today too! I ask the office staff: Does the boat has gps chart plotter? Please check! Office: probably Me: probably my as*, does it have it or not?? Office: it has Technical support: it has not *** Are these people insane or what? |
With plotter, although such thing is not unsignificant, is just small part of larger scale of misunderstandings...Bigger things are annoying me. The lack of responsibility is one of them. Maybe I am too strict and should be easy going like rest of them. But that is not in my nature. And that is probably not jazzy... |
You work with people who work or dream in automatic pilot like robot with no consciousness of their own... In contrast you are a free human soul with a moral compass navigating seriously the reality...Not surprizingly your emotions are involved.... Theirs are not.... Save for recognizing you to be a zealot...You are not.... They are dead bodies.... My best to you... |
Dee Dee Bridgewater LIVE AT YOSHI'S Dee Dee Bridgewater(vocals), Thierry Eliez(piano), Thomas Bramerie(bass), Ali Jackson(drums, percussion) Verve 1998 Notes: "Potentially the most volatile component of a Jazz vocalist's performance, scatting can be deadly in the wrong singer's hands. But Bridgewater has the gift."
