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.

Yes, Yes and Yes.   Also, since I know where they are going, since you have posted them before, what is the point in listening to them.    

Hmmmmmmmmm........I think I got that right.

Frogman, just where are all these people you claimed would be dropping out of the sky if I never got off track? Are they coming from "Agon"? You must have a credible idea of a source. The people who posted under the various artists maybe?

I really don't expect for you to answer this because you are very selective about answering questions, but I thought I would try.

Enjoy the music.

I would be glad to answer you, O-10. Look, it’s obvious that you and I live in very different universes, both as concerns music and as concerns interaction on a forum like this; not to mention other ways that are probably best left alone. Just look at how you have ignored what it was that started all this (I made it very clear) and how conveniently you pivoted to the subject of new posters. Huh?! You seem unwilling or incapable of understanding the important aspects of what I have said on the subject of new posters. All I can say on the subject now is that the series of posts that I mentioned earlier further make my case and prove my point. If that is all a little too abstract for you I can’t help you, but it is perfectly in keeping with our respective tastes in music.

Btw, I am glad you liked the Lewis clip. I am also relieved that you liked it since the significance of George Lewis in the history of this music is huge and anyone who doesn’t undertand this has no business claiming to be a jazz "aficionado". Thank goodness.
