As an old aficionado, I appreciate the music so much more now; that's because I hear what each individual artist is contributing to the whole. For example: "A Night In Tunisia" by Lee Morgan; "Moanin" by Mingus; Donald Byrd, "Here Am I"; What do those three boss jams have in common? It's that driving baritone of Pepper Adams, he's one of the best in the business.
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.

To all who have experienced problems with "Application error" or (500) error messages. I just received this reply after my second recent complaint: "I reported the issue. Unfortunately we cannot replicate it, so it seems to be a very intermittent problem. If we hear from 2 or 3 other users about the issue it will be something we will prioritize to take action on immediately. I am sorry there is nothing more I can do to solve the issue currently." I admitted up front it is an intermittent problem, but they don't seem to have the patience to test it several times. So I hope more of you will complain to the site managers rather than continue to tolerate their failing. Thanks |
Pryso, I've had so much trouble trying to straighten anything out, that I find it easier to find another way to solve the problem. Type audiogon into google and go to forums, that will get you in every time. When I try to communicate with people about issues, I must be speaking in some unknown tongue, because we never seem to communicate; consequently, I try to find a way around the problem as opposed to solving it. |
@orpheus10 OK, I confess. I liked the clip of Miss Dee Dee and the guys from Mali. I Heard a lot of Africa and Asia in the music. Even Chinese. But, alas, no Delta Blues. Beautiful music from a very messed up place. I considered buying that CD several months ago, but decided to get this one instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2MVmC55T5s Cheers |
