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.

Rok, I'm going to write my swan song for you. This can be corroborated on page 129 05-19-2016 12:11 AM Sunday, August 28. APPROXIMATELY 30,000 EVACUEES GATHER AT SUPERDOME WITH ROUGHLY 36 HOURS WORTH OF FOOD [Times-Picayune] Monday, August 29 — KATRINA MAKES LANDFALL AS A CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE [CNN] 7:30 AM CDT — BUSH ADMINISTRATION NOTIFIED OF THE LEVEE BREACH: The administration finds out that a levee in New Orleans was breached. On this day, 28 “government agencies, from local Louisiana parishes to the White House, [reported that] that New Orleans levees” were breached. [AP] 11:13 AM CDT – WHITE HOUSE CIRCULATES INTERNAL MEMO ABOUT LEVEE BREACH: “Flooding is significant throughout the region and a levee in New Orleans has reportedly been breached sending 6-8 feet of water throughout the 9th ward area of the city.” [AP] The White House was notified that 6 to 8 feet of water was surging throughout the 9th ward in New Orleans. The Governor of Louisiana requested help from the White House and Bush went to bed without responding. "I never knew the political chain of RESPONSIBILITY ran directly from the 9th ward to the white House." That was Rok's response; people are drowning in the 9th ward from a natural disaster, and Rok doesn't think the president has any responsibility, even after the Governor of the state has requested help. Could it be because the people in the ninth ward are BLACK? That the president doesn't have any responsibility for them? Living in New Orleans they ought to know how to swim, because it's below sea level is the inference of one of Rok's statements. Eight months before "Katrina", this is what was sent half way around the world. http://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/135288/amc-aircraft-people-support-tsunami-r.... Am I suppose to close my eyes to the clear indication of what this series of actions says? https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007392 This is a little quotation about when they came for the Jews I did not speak, and when they came for me, there was no one left to speak. When the worst happens where you live, there may be no one left to complain about not getting the necessary help you are entitled to as a citizen of The United States Of America. Most people are smug in the consolation that their white skins will save them from anything like the people in the ninth ward suffered, but what's saving so many with white skins from poverty? Enjoy the music. |
