Frogman, since you seem to have a good idea of what a "jazz track" and movie should consist of; what's your favorite?
Enjoy the music.
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.

Rok, the people who fought the civil rights movement are unknown, old and tired, plus only younger people benefited who couldn't care less about those who didn't benefit. Presently everyone is for number one, and the only movement is straight down for the lower middle class. For Gods sake don't click on poverty. The good news is, being an audiophile is great when you have a solid system, and a large collection of good music. I think that accounts for just about everybody on the "Gon". Enjoy the music. |
As the decider in chief of this thread, it is my job to discern what is and "what is not". In regard to Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles, there were times when I thought he was Ray Charles, and that's what acting is all about; to make the audience believe they are looking at a real event taking place in front of them as opposed to a movie. I can't think of any movie where this was done better than Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles. If anyone can show a better example of an actor portraying a living person, I would like for them to post it. Enjoy the music. |
