Frogman, we agree 100%; what else can I say?
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.

This is absolutely incredible; not because it's John Coltrane blowing, but because it's so "seductive"; this music makes the object of the music (the lady with the big black floppy hat) absolutely irresistible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8eYVN8hAlU Songs tell stories, or incite emotions; Billie Holiday was a master at both. |
What else can you say? That’s an easy one. How about that you’ll stop with the provocative and insulting comments that start these stupid arguments. Or is this another one of the “most stupid, ludicrous, and ridiculous statements” that I have written here? Have you any idea how childish and disrespectful you come across? All because you feel insecure and feel your mantle is threatened. You know, I have an old dog (a great dog) and he learns new tricks all the time. |
Frogman, I never have, nor ever will be about shooting down every point you make; I'm about the song, and the music when it coincides with the song. Take this version of in a sentimental mood, it captures the emotion of the song more than any vocal; while I'm not always right, I think I am; that's because I've spent my entire life listening to this music, and absorbing the "aura" of each song. Now we both know that can't be true, but in my mind it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwweLcoHqNQ |
