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 the title of that double Satch/Duke CD ?
Happy Listening!
I couldn’t agree with inna more .
I firmly believe ,as someone who has seen a LOT of docs, that as a GENERAL proposition women are better docs for the reasons stated .
It’s a simple fact that in general women are better listeners than men and the clue to a good diagnose often comes out of the patient’s mouth .

Schubert, it's amazing what you and Inna have come up with in relation to men listening; after me telling the man what's wrong, he responds like I haven't said a word.

Because they are, we'll say "specialists", they think they know everything about their speciality, when they only know what they have been taught. Come up with something different that they don't know about, and they insist on putting it in a known box as opposed to investigating.

I wrote the lady a letter, and until I hear from her I'm not seeing any more doctors; nothing is better than wrong medicine and diagnosis.

jafant, I’m not suggesting you should buy it from Amazon, but here is a link to the disc I have, it should give whatever you need to find a copy -
