Suggestion, O-10, why don't YOU give it a rest; it was you who brought it up again (!!) knowing, based on past discussions, that there would be disagreement. However, if you ever want to discuss it in a productive way, let me know. No hard feelings.
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.

"Practice" in any endeavor one want's to be successful at, is the most commonest of common sense. By now, everyone knows the word "practice" was taken out of context. But when I reflect back and think about it, that's what he was doing in front of a crowd of people who had paid to see and hear him; he was practicing "improvisation". Enjoy the music. |
Miles Davis "Improvisation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCa3iyBekCs Kicking it ain't he. Enjoy the music. |
Fellow "aficionados" my goal, my objective, my reason for starting this thread was to help us acquire new music in our collection, not to teach music, or to learn music. Recently we have all made some very interesting discoveries as a result of a "rukus", but stranger things have happened. I discovered that my collection is a lot more incomplete than I thought it was. While that was bad news, the good news is that it can easily be rectified. If the recording quality of these box sets are as good as Rok says they are, my troubles in regard to filling in the gaps in my collection will be over when the mailman drops those boxes in my mail box. Enjoy the music. |
