O-10, you really try a person’s patience. Why don’t you just try to be a bit more civil and a little less childish and see where that takes you? In the interest of driving an important issue forward (would be much simpler to ignore you) and out of simple (undeserved?) courtesy I will hang in there. Kindly explain to me (quote please) just what it is I have written that is a "criticism of Bird". Thanks.
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.

Although demonstrating more calypso than reggae, one of the most successful recent marriages of Afro-Caribbean music and jazz hails from the birthplace of calypso, Trinidad. I posted some of this very nice young trumpet player previously. I love the relaxed feeling in this style; even in the more swingy tunes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad3uG7-2tVs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YmhajnlB9Og https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rsayHOVvS8s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e6rfAnQ9DDA |
The tune "I Want To Be a Sideman" submitted by Frogman 09-05-2016 11:23am, caused me to think how a major jazz musician coming through St. Louis wanting to do a gig would pick up sidemen. At that time, there were so many good jazz musicians in St. Louis, that it wasn't a major problem to pick up good sidemen. A good musician who didn't want to leave home, and find his lady done took up with "Jody" and gone when he gets back home, would definitely want to be a "sideman". He would belong to the local, have a book, and have fun in between gigs, without any responsibility; that sounds like my kind of life when I was young, and my only goal in life was to have fun. This is the song I liked; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdOav-Gt6mI Enjoy the music. |
When you buy music from the islands; this is what you hear, the people in the islands like this kind of jazz, they don't care for "stereotypical" music, meaning reggae Jamaica, or the "stereotypical" steel drum Trinidad music, they seem to like what I call Island music, which is a mixture of all the Islands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndcyncj0hMc This is super hip Island music; it's what the people prefer, not what's presented to the tourists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Sk8xdJBUQ Enjoy the music. |

This is super hip Island music; it's what the people prefer, not what's presented to the tourists.***** And you know this how? This is boring third world crap. And EVERYTHING they do, is for the tourist trade. How do you think they eat. Both clips sounded like the same tune. Neither tune is Jazz. Cheers |
