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.

O-10, re Previn (and the 3/20 post):

There must be a couple hundred clips of Previn on YouTube, you write this:

****Since I have jazz by Andre Previn, I tried to find some classical music by him, but this is all I found.****

and, you post the clip I commented on. Certainly appears that you consider it classical. I don’t think nor did I state that you are MOWRON. It is clear, however, that you prefer, as I said before, to focus on the negative and stay on the dark side. Sorry, I’m not playing.

Hey, btw, one out of three ain’t too bad. Now you know you like John Adams; how about that!  Also, are we talking about Previn the classical composer or Previn the classical conductor?

Frogman, you still have not responded to my post that appears between your post to Alex, and your post to Toudou. You'll need time to consider the link, I understand that.

Thank you.

Frogman, if you want to evade, or avoid that post, we can just move on to the next thing.

Frogman, I forgive you for not responding to that link; people like me who know what's going on, and let it be known that they know, pay a very high price.

Since I'm already in the spotlight it doesn't matter, but it's better not to be in the spotlight.



Enjoy the music.
