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.

Learsfool, after the third time, maybe this will sink in but I doubt it.

André Previn (2012)
André George Previn, KBE (/ˈprɛvɪn/; born Andreas Ludwig Priwin; April 6, 1929)[1] is a German-American pianist, conductor, and composer. He is considered one of the most versatile musicians in the world and is the winner of four Academy Awards for his film work and ten Grammy Awards for his recordings (and one more for his Lifetime Achievement).

You're another one of those who can't hear "The Flow", and you demonstrated that when you called it "elevator music". You and Frogman seem to believe that if you say something enough times that will make it so.


Enjoy the music.

Learsfool, do all of these version of "Like Young" sound like "elevator music"?

Learsfool, it's quite apparent to me, that who is doing the posting, is much more responsible for your negative diatribes, than what has been posted, and that concludes any further dialogue with you in the future.


Enjoy the music.

On this thread we have criticized or trashed people like,  Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wynton Marsalis, Phil Woods, and have from time to time, spoken at least  a few discouraging words about anyone who is anyone.  Even Pops has not been spared.

My question is, why has criticism of one tune, by Andre Previn of all people,. caused such an uproar?   Why did you pick this moment, and this player, to burn all your bridges with the contributors and supporters of this thread?   Why are you falling on your sword over this guy?

I don't get it.  Can someone help me out?  Explain please?  If I had said it was elevator music, would we be going through all this?

What is this really all about?  You need to give yourself an honest answer to that question.

Keep in mind, on Audiogon, we are a minority, within a minority, within a minority.  Can't really afford to run interested folks off.

Cheers
