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.

Great explanation, but it does not change the facts. You told us why they made irritating noises and acted like idiots. Rok's first law of dress codes in Music: The more bizarre, outrageous or revealing the outfits, the less is being said in the music. Think, Miles, pre and post Bitches Brew. Great post. Cheers |
Regarding rock, I strongly disagree with uncle but I accept and admire the differences because they keep our world spinning... Somebody said that rock was the white version of rock and roll. :)) Rock deserves it’s place below sky. Just few examples for jazz aficionados. (not all is clean rock but it is rock or close enough to rock) J.J. Cale, Cocaine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWmD_HcOcfU Steppenwolf, Born to be wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMbATaj7Il8 Jimy Hendrix, Hey Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXwMrBb2x1Q Doors The End https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VScSEXRwUqQ Love me two times baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKa0Par8Un8 Beatles While my guitar gently weeps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJDJs9dumZI Jeff Beck ( with Clapton here) Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o3CIa3nrZE Same song, Larry Carlton, Steve Lukather https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ooCngj0xI Deep Purple Soldier of Fortune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06j9QR7XjLA Child in time (they scream here a lot) :)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAWReBmxEs This is pure wildness... I am quite sure Alex will ’kill’ me now but will take that risk. |
*****Somebody said that rock was the white version of rock and roll.***** Then somebody would be wrong. Two many great white rock and roll artist for that to be true. Elvis, Early Beatles, Elton John etc.... Rock&Roll, as I have said before, was mainly about teenage life and love. Everything from fast cars to broken hearts to slow drag at the prom. Rock was always political in nature. The anti music. Violent and cynical. Without Viet Nam and the civil rights violence, it’s possible there would have been no such thing as Rock. It was not a happy or uplifting music. All your clips show this. Your Highness (bowing as I back away) Cheers BTW, *****Regarding rock, I strongly disagree with uncle***** What more proof do I need to know that I am right about Rock. |
Mary_jo, I'm glad you presented your side of this discussion in music. I only see 2 that I'm familiar with; "While My Guitar Weeps" and "The End". That opening intro with the helicopter blades whirring tells me it's "Nam"; being a vet who's considered a Nam vet, but never went to Nam, I found "Apocalypse Now" quite fascinating, and the same for The Doors. Here's some music for thought; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCBS5EtszYI I'll get back to you regarding your other submissions. |
