Chazro, the Maraca clip is fabulous! I can't thank you enough for that. Love how the chamber orchestra weaves in and out of the Jazz and vise versa. Fantastic instrumentalists and improvisers. I have a lot more to say about it and your other clips, but sadly used up my time embroiled in the bullshit. As an aside, and along the lines of the often talked about miracle of how Cubans keep all those old cars running, it is miraculous how great those musicians sound on what are, in many cases, second rate instruments at best. Scary to think what they'll be able to do when things finally do improve for Cubans and they are able to play on really fine instruments. And that violin soloist! Omg, she can play like that and look like that! 😊
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.

@orpheus10, The 'Rap' threads are not about music at all. I think we all know what they are about. Sort of like "Jazz for Aficionados. Sometimes I wonder if it is about the music. The post by Acman3 was just an attempt to make fun of, and show them the stupidity of the whole thread. Good luck with that. ***** What do you think is the solution Rok; I'm totally lost. ***** Now now OP, you are not lost. :) The problem first, then my solution. Problem: This thread is light years away from what it is was supposed to be. Read your initial post again. The atmosphere has become so poisonous and malicious, and in a personal way, that I don't even like it anymore. It has in effect, become an 'Audiophile thread'. No different from all the rest. Solution: As I said in a previous post, irreconcilable differences. There is no common ground. There is Nothing to talk about. To each his own, but for me, I think I'll call it a day, and head for the house. If you run across something that you think, I just have to have, email me. Stop all the bickering. It will eventually take all the joy out of listening to this great music. Cheers |
If bickering will take the joy out of you listening to music it wasn’t about music in the first place. The most brilliant Professor I ever had, which is saying a lot. was a Frenchwomen who was the most eminent scholar in the Philosophy of Social Science in the world . She once said, "If you can’t say it in one sentence you don’t know what you are talking about " . |
Rok, I got sidetracked, but now I'm going through posts. Arturo O' Farrill, Afro Cuban Jazz with a whole lot of soul; "Blues Guaguanco" is smokin, it's all the way live; I can dig it, got to git it. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCB52YOghww[/url] "Mox Nix", I know you heard this expression a lot in Germany. This jam takes me back to the past when I put a quarter in the juke box and the hippest jam on the box popped up; Benny Golson in his prime, can you dig it? [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7URoogRj0[/url] All this mediocre music that Frogman is praising is giving me an upset digestive tract, I can't handle anymore of it; it's time for a brandy (not since last year). Let me see what's "Killer Joe" up to? [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u23Etcb-L9M[/url] "Killer Joe" is too cool for words. 10-4 over and out. |
