Time is the "unchangeable" nothing between two events. If the events occurred or didn't occur, time would have still passed, and it keeps on passing without help from anyone.
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.

Today's Listen: Cannonball Adderley Quintet -- COUNTRY PREACHER Very nice CD, ruined by the presence of The 'Reverend' Jackass. As Cannonball would say, "check it out". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM1fkWdb7-E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0948NjaL3iI Cheers Time: When all activity stops, even at the sub-atomic level, then time has stopped. |
Great clip with Elvin and Richard Davis. Frank Foster on tenor; great player who for years shared tenor duties in the Basie big band with Frank Wess. Of course, can’t talk about music without time factoring in. ****Time is the interval between two events.**** In music those events are the pulses or beats and the interval is the length of time between them. Of course, how the player arrives at each of those events (beats), how the player "finesses" that arrival (length of time), is what gives the playing its feeling. This is why musicians seldom say "player x has good rhythm"; instead, "player x has good time". |
