Pryso, I bought "Bean Bags" probably in 61, naturally the album cover is stuck in my mind; bags of various kinds of beans. "Bags" is Milt Jackson, and "Beans" is Coleman Hawkins; those are the names they were given by jazz enthusiasts before me.
I compare being an "aficionado" to being a wine "Connoisseur"; after many long years of diligent listening, we are qualified to pass judgment on what is the best jazz; just as a wine connoisseur is qualified to pass judgment on the best wine.
I'm sure the very best grapes and procedures must be implemented for a 5 star wine; and so the very best artists at the top of their game are required for a 5 star jazz album. I have deemed this album 5 star, so if you only see 4 stars, that's wrong.
After a lifetime of listening, the Aficionado savors every note on a 5 star album, the same as a wine Connoisseur savors every sip of the very best wine.
I would like you to join me in savoring this music;
