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.

It appears to me; "There are certain things we are not supposed to know, and we don't care if you rent a sky writer and paste every detail across the sky, we still won't know it because we're not supposed to know it".

It's orpheus's fault, he told us their was a world wide heroin epidemic, and he also told us that heroin comes from AFGHANISTAN, but we didn't believe him. He also told us that heroin is cheaper than a six pack, and we know that can't be true.

But most importantly we didn't connect the dots in regard to AFGHANISTAN, and heroin.

Frogman, I have never made so many mistakes on so few posts. What do you make of that?
Heroin has been coming from AFGHANISTAN since way before there was a United States.  What's your point.

I remember when the CIA was bringing crack into LA. hahahahahah
The even held guns to folks head and made them smoke crack.   I know I was outraged!!
