Everyone has the right to sing the blues. But it would be nice if nobody ever had the inkling to actually do it. Will never happen in this world though I suppose.
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.

Its telling that there have been so many great blues singers over the years but its hard to say any are any greater or better than an original like Robert Johnson. If it happens, then its likely that what is being done is blues based but no longer purely the blues. The blues happens to be the great common denominator of a lot of music that has transpired since. |
*****"The women are all married to Uncle Sam". This statement is lower than whale feces; it blames the victim for the crime.***** It's also, sadly, often true. When the Government fulfills the role and esp the responsibilities normally reserved for the Male in a family unit, then that woman is married to the Government. Not sure what 'crime' you are speaking of. Cheers |
One last thing: Poverty is an important part of our economic system. It's the motivator. It's what makes Capitalism work. If no one had to fear being poor, I think the morning rush hour, would be a lot less rushed. Some European Countries are trying to eliminate poverty by Government action. The people of those countries are paying through the nose, and they still can't do it. In the U.K., that entire country depends on the Government to an amazing degree. Unbelievable !! The Bible says there will always be poor people. They trick is, to not be one of them. Make smart moves in life. Cheers good for your southern soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tm6QEN7ABg |
