Personal favorite " today".
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.

I am afraid, with good reason, of going back to a neighborhood I lived in for 30 years. When people are born into a world where selling dope is the only way to make a living, we're in trouble.***** People from Mexico and other Central American countries go through danger and degradation to make it into this country. If they travel up through Mexico they are treated like crap by the Mexican police and government. They get caught by the U.S. Border patrol most times and are sent back, then they go through the whole thing again. Finally they make it across, and if the survive the Deserts of Arizona and New Mexico they have a good chance of making to family and friends in the USA. If they make it, to say, Baltimore, on a Friday, they are on the JOB Monday morning. If they are Korean or Chinese, they may clean the toilets at the local airport, but their children go to Harvard. So stop boring everyone with that 'woe is us' BS. They sell drugs because it's easy to do. And going to jail is just like a family reunion. The guy in the Philippines has the right idea. Cheers |
