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.

Bluesy41, This is the entrance exam to be a true 'Aficionado'. Give us your thoughts on this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__wMmONt5FM Cheers |
Well o10, here's an album I bought in the early '60s. I considered it "pretty far out" at the time but soon came to enjoy it. So you can see that Old and New Dreams's recordings were a natural progression for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNbD1JIH344 Also it was my growing music collection that led me to becoming an audiofool in the hopes of enjoying it more. That happened over the years and decades, but the music is still the basic catalyst. |
This Bud is just for you Rok; this is what was done for people half way across the world http://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/135288/amc-aircraft-people-support- This is what was done for the predominately Black citizens of New Orleans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCDJ3vxMHdo Young educated African Americans are going to "Viet Nam"; they are going to "South Africa"; they are going to Cambodia, Thailand; they are getting out of Dodge. They got the message, it's time to leave town. BLAME THE VICTIM FOR THE CRIME; what else is new? "This is not the forum" I served for four years in the outfit that was trained to respond to disasters like New Orleans; I earned the right to respond on any forum I please. |
