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.

The only differences between men , be it bourgeois,poor,rich, educated , black,white, the only difference that  "mathematically" and spiritually matter is :creative moral imagination which is also an organ of perception. (Music is a manifestation in our body as source of sound or antenna and listener of this "moral" and mathematical  polar gesture as speech is as Mimesis/logos)

I can explain it as i just did with two different A.I. as pupils (A.I. is only a mirror nothing more) in an ongoing more than 2,000 pages of dialogue mainly about maths essence...smiley But....It will be boring for most...

i am over from my journey  in acoustics, theoretical as practical, i am now back in maths and i listen music... Sound did not bother me anymore and price  tag  marketing dont matter once you understand acoustics not with formulas only but with your ears... ...

 

Then any bourgeois,war criminal or Nobel prize winner can love Jazz which as its roots ( with Black people as ground and some French Cajun who  were "Acadians" deported by force by English King order etc) was a deep spiritual prayer and protest, and  now a mathematical and moral world  of its own ...

Loved the Clarke/Copeland video. Do you happen to know if they made an album together?  I just checked Qobuz and couldn’t find any.
