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.

Having biases is not necessarily a bad thing. One man's bias is another man's reaction to life experiences. Alex: I try to do what you. I never watch the news on American television. I tend to watch news programs from Europe on the internet. France24, Sky News and German DW are the ones I watch most. The liars are present there also, but I can watch with a certain detachment, since their lies do not affect me. More entertaining. Lies do affect you. Even if you know they are lying. I do not let them pollute my mind and thought process. The methods used by Goebbels and the boys at Pravda continue today around the world. Cheers |
You just got to keep the faith, more "aficionados" than you can shake a stick at are on the way; just got to stick to the script and never get off subject. BTW Alex, keep em comin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiSIQzwIPzQ The sun will come out tomorrow. |
Today's Listen: Chico Freeman -- DESTINY'S DANCE I was sort of wary and apprehensive about this CD when deciding to buy it, having seen the word 'free' associated with some of the players, but then I noticed Wynton was on Trumpet. Now I asked myself, could Wynton be involved something that was not real Jazz? Nope, unless it was a duet with Miss battle. I actually love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xv-EWHCscI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRih07ksHDE Cheers |
