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.

Rok, Frogman, and Schubert; this will take you to "Bird's best Bop"; which will lead into the documentary, "Celebrating Bird", that will go into a "Dexter Gordon Documentary"; all in all, this makes for a lot of music and entertainment.

BTW, there are such things as Bad soldiers. The Vietnam era US Army was full of them. And as the war went on, they spread to Germany and Korea as well as bases in the U.S. Even now when you see them on TV, they all go out of their way to look like bums and thugs. Of course, McNamara's 100,000 had a lot to do with this. That was when they allowed 100,000 guys that did not meet the minimum intelligence standards into the army. The Marines and Air Force said, thanks, but no thanks. It took many years to recover. |
