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.

ONE problem with you line of thought Learsfool. It is far more important to be a good man than a great artist. Wagner was NOT used by Nazi's ,in fact they toned down his anti-Semitism .You do NOT grasp the extent that Wagner made them possible in Germany. Music is God's gift to man but it is not God. That much is gray, does not make everything relative. No one would die if Wagner's music vanished into the vapor forever. |
This is supposed to be a music thread(conversation). Jazz in particular. And since none of you, save Learsfool, have the slightest clue about the subject of which you speak, get back to music or go back to your 'Audiophile' hangouts. Don't you have some wire to discuss?? Perhaps the latest cable lifters? Are you sure you have covered ALL tubes?
