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.

what is pitiful is your continued attacks on people who have corrected on numerous things - not just me either

why anyone would want to embarrass themselves on the internet is beyond me
It's all pretty funny, actually; especially your comments, Rok.  Nicely done;  sincerely. Sorry to disappoint you.  Subtlety, nuance, good rhythm, good intonation, logic.....like good music.  You know all about that, right?  There's more than one way to win an argument besides low blows.  Watch and learn, your winning record is not that good 😏.  Sometimes I wonder what % of the 1.3 million views are for the soap opera instead of for the music.
