Happy New Year guys!
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.

Not that long ago, I watched very emotional story in a movie with Hilary Swank in a main role. I usually avoid watching movies like that, life itself is full of such reality, there is no need for screen pictures to remind me of it but this one captured my attention so deeply that I promised myself, as if I am f**** teenager, that I will try not to be unkind to a single person in my life. Today I broke that rule. Luckily, with each day, one has a chance to do the same again. Dropping Coin number 2 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zXNpG0w_rks |
And to show you that I am thinking on you guys, here is my suggestion, since you can’t obviously make up your mind. ;---) Bill for president! *chin* https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Alv7N6Ynm1Y#searching |
Inna, that is fantastic piece and video clip. Those photos, the atmosphere and the music that goes along, that is precisely what I am looking for. I can't figure out why my jazz guru never sent me that... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/ascenseur-pour-lechafaud-miles-davis/amp... |
Lovely music guys. My jukebox is working overtime this evening and will continue so during whole night. Tv is on, with jazz programme called "Time for jazz". But it is almost 2 o’ clock after midnight and I think I will switch to earphones. Guys are still jamming on tv, but in a silent way. I need jazz so badly now. That’s the only music (besides pop 70s, 80s), that has power for healing process. I must sadly confess that somehow, rock music has become too heavy for me. I am dropping a coin... *chin* Some things just have to be done this way. Sometimes I forget it. Luckily there is this gorgeous music to remind me of it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YHesqaMhh34#searching |
People in the bar are not happy with my choice of the music so will have to switch on something else before the idea of me being outside the bar, is born in their minds... Dropping coin *chin, pin* (this coin is bigger so sounds different) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sHp7l4Z_kBw |
O-10, that is very kind of you but I have to disappoint you because I am definitely not the type you're looking for. Alex saw me in live, I am not his type, Fro saw me on the internet while performing, he says that I am ok, but every woman with a proper make up and under proper light looks ok. So, with an average look and very bad temper, this woman advise you better to run and hide while you still can. :-) Only the men that like my specific type (I do not fulfil this first condition with you), older than me, very wise and extremely self-confident can handle all this, others I simply "destroy". Ok, not like that but it is not far from that. Other than that, I am quite lovely. :---))) |
There are many "hidden gems" throughout the whole movie which are tied to the theme of the movie which is "gameness" the act of being "game". To stick to your convictions no matter what life throws your way. To "persevere" -You said it very well, pjw. Thank you. |
I must quickly send him something nice so that I keep his heart warm. The heat must not drop under certain level... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4_eLn4B9MzQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=86BmSaXZMHw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X6ymVaq3Fqk#searching https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TlppIdtLw5A https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qWG2dsXV5HI#searching https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=plSKtjfSjrA#searching There you go. |
You just continue with doing of whatever you are doing, I just had strong urge to tell you (in addition to O-10 last post) that I like to observe dog as it is.

Well, would Sam Cooke be close enough?Yes, it would. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fPr3yvkHYsE#searching |
ta ta ra ta ta, drums please! I have announcement to make. Could not find it in english and got it in german but you will, with the help of all mighty Gogo, understand it: https://www.jazzzeitung.de/cms/2021/01/verleihung-des-berklee-master-of-global-jazz-award-an-dusko-g... From the article "The three winners of the 5th Kurt Maas Jazz Award, together with colleagues from the Jazz Institute of the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (HMTM), will perform the award winners' concert of the competition as a livestream on the Youtube channel of the Jazz Institute on Friday, 22 January 2021 at 7:00 pm. A special highlight will also be the presentation of a "Berklee Master of Global Jazz Award" to the Munich-based jazz trumpeter Dusko Goykovich, honorary member of the Jazz Institute of the HMTM. The award ceremony will take place via a live link to Roger Brown, President of Berklee College in Boston, Massachusetts, where the first winner of the Kurt Maas Jazz Award will be able to spend a summer course." "Berklee Master of Global Jazz Award" to jazz trumpeter Dusko Goykovich (born in Bosnia and Herzegovina (was part of former Yugoslavia)) For those who do not know, the country where I come from (Croatia) was also part of former Yugoslavia. So Dusko is "naše gore list" meaning and translated from Croatian, our fellow countryman.

I did not want to paste this link on the previous post. It does not go with a last line. But what you have said keegiam, the similarity of that clip is obvious. Here is Wicked Game. https://youtu.be/dlJew-Dw87I |
The Queen has to clean, cook and wash. I know, I know, but my maid and both butlers have day off. Modern times and damn human rights. I can't even took off anyone's head in peace, without somebody protesting... Quite annoying. So will get back later to enjoy in the beauty of the music. The last resort of resistance... |
