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.

Wagner's did . He wrote twice as many anti-Semitic published diatribes as music when he was the best known person in Germany and which made hate speech
in the German middle and upper classes acceptable in public discourse .
And words DO matter !

I studied history in Germany for 4 years in the top-rated German university for same and every single Professor drew a straight line from Wagner to Hitler .
Adolf didn't idolize him for his music .

I started to mention Wagner as an example in my previous post and didn’t for a couple of reasons. Mostly because I had a strong feeling that we would hear from you on the subject and that you could say what needed to be said much better than I. Regards.

Mary_jo, you selected my number one "lost love song" sang by anybody.

Rok is speaking of a voice that's not "aesthetically" beautiful; like Nancy Wilson's voice for example is aesthetically beautiful.

No, my friend was not distant, he enjoyed people; but he was uniquely original with a mind of his own. "Bohemian" might be a better word for you to comprehend "jazzy" as referred to a person. I give you "Bohemia After Dark", which is one of my favorite tunes that depicts "jazzy" people after dark.

orpheus, I do not mind Rok speaking like that but that was obviously a moment for a mutual ’rough talk’ like Tina would say, we start (do it) easy and finish rough...

I cannot open your video, is this from Kenny Clark album, so that I can find it on the another link?
