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.

Re Thomas (again): with all due respect, you're grabbing at straws. I like Thomas and I have said so. I wonder how HE would have felt knowing that his yodeling was the only thing there was to like about his singing; according to O-10 of course. This is a ridiculous discussion.

Frogman, this is the most ridiculous statement you have made up until this date.

Rok, that's a very good question, and I think it got lost after the beat, or was that before the beat.


Enjoy the music.

Rok, this is just like old times; Leon would enjoy this: me, him, and his brother on one side of Missouri Ave, and the Gatlin brothers on the other side, daring each other to cross.

Acman, "Blue Mitchell" Graffiti must be in high demand; the CD is listed for $26.93 used. I like it, maybe I'll get it.


Enjoy the music.
