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.

O-10, that's not what I said; actually the opposite.  Imo, there would be no need to keep it private so ask here. Not that I particularly want to discuss the subject (I frankly don't care how anyone chooses to spend their money in this hobby); but if you want to ask fire away. 

Frogman, I don't care how another man spends his money either, but I was trying to exemplify how the gap between rich and poor is widening. I don't believe any "audiophile" would spend $23,000 on a 3 foot interconnect, because he would know the factors involved; such as resistance, conductance, capacitance, and realize how foolish it was; while someone who had been in on the greatest heist ever, which was the robbery of the average, or middle class American when the commodity markets were "illegally manipulated" causing gasoline and food, two necessities of life, to cost twice as much as normal.

In the past you seem to have interpreted my statements regarding such things as having a relationship to capitalism and the "American way of life". What I stated was about over-riding the CFTC and breaking laws that had been laid down to prevent "commodity market manipulation". Imagine if you could "illegally" shift the prices in the commodity markets and reap the profits.

When I guided you to a website that explicitly explained how and when such a thing was done, you simply shrugged it off with a non-comment.

I used those interconnects to exemplify how that group of people who spend money like "confetti" is growing.

Here is another unusual bassist who thinks with his heart; Omer Avital. It is stated that he descends from the Mingus family tree of bassist leaders; he does not need to display his monster chops through solos. The whole band smokes on this one.

It's for certain that Omer Avital will get his fair share of my musical allotment for this month; "Marrakesh" is just another one of those places that I dreamed of visiting but never made it.
