It is absolutely unbelievable how many people think this is the coolest song they ever heard in their life. Amazingly it conjures up similar visions to a lot of different people.

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.

roc and mary_jo Anytime I hear any version of Just A Closer Walk With Thee It brings me back to my favorite movie ever. Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke" Luke's mom pays a visit: (3) Cool Hand Luke - Harry Dean Stanton - Just A Closer Walk With Thee - YouTube After Luke finds out his mother died: (3) Paul Newman - Cool Hand Luke - "Plastic Jesus" - YouTube "The Man" could never break Lukes spirit: (3) "Cool Hand Luke" End of the Movie - YouTube |
**** Fro saw me on the internet while performing, he says that I am ok, **** Ok, I know you’re just trying to turn his “COLD” knob up and the “HOT” knob down; after all, who really knows just what might be possible over the internet? However, let’s be accurate when quoting someone else: 😊 https://youtu.be/_PVjcIO4MT4 |
Mary_jo, you sound a little bit like one of my "ex-wives", but nobody could be that bad; she was bad to the bone, and her name was not Christine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAb81olgCNs I love that car. True story; my uncle bought one fresh off the line that same color, and he decided on a road trip a little over a hundred miles south of St. Louis, with my cousin driving. On the way back, my cousin said he had to drive fast to stay woke. I went to sleep in the back seat, and the wind whistling woke me up, but the car was moving along as steady as a rock; I looked at the speedometer and it read 120. Those fins functioned as stabilizers at high speeds, the same as an airplane. I went back to sleep with the thought, "If anything goes wrong, I'll never know it". |
Today's Listen: Marcus Roberts -- IF I COULD BE WITH YOU Excellent notes, but very difficult to read. "....I would eventually like to be able to play two solos simultaneously that evoke contrasting moods. For maximum freedom, I would like to be able to do this at any velocity. I think that would be a true contribution." As the OP might say, no comment. Thankfully we aren't there yet, soooooooo preach, reverend preach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eBzd31BrFE&t=97s mood indigo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5i7yyjv_j8 just a closer walk with thee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAwmwM9WMew carolina shout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYpfsD71Mo country blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk9BNPtD5kM keep off the grass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2StOt7-Yqg And 14 more! All short and sweet. Some are very close to the Jazz Big Bang. Cheers |
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. :---))) |
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... |
Alright, Miles it is then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmbDg5UV_c&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=99&ab_ch... |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
Rok, I meant to comment on "The Sermon"; that's one of my all time favorite albums. Here are a few tunes to complement that; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O82y59h7MI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZnseqMDF20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsAf0ra6Vd4 |
Today's Listen: World Saxophone Quartet -- RHYTHM AND BLUES Julius Hemphill(alto), Oliver Lake(alto,soprano), David Murray(tenor, bass clarinet), Hamiet Bluiett(baritone, alto clarinet) Minimal notes / info. This is much better than you might think, given the instrumentation. for the love of money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFy2scn-CsI I heard that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvvUxfjVfZk let's get it on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8YF2qB5VGw messin' with the kid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMNPM6MjeMU I never knew these tunes had so much in them. Cheers Snowing in Texas. |
O10, maybe you ran into this one exploring your new heartthrob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r28Gmaji7-g&list=PL69k6m47R2WbBRrYAxh5iXPekb-y9ExAT |
I fall in love too easy; now I'm in love with Marie Bryant, and this is the first time I ever heard of her. I fell in love after seeing Keegiam's post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohCOIPjyXZM |
Today’s Listen: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band -- VOODOO Special Guests: Dr. John - vocal and piano on "It’s all over now" Dizzy Gillespie - trumpet and vocal on "oop pop a dah" Branford Marsalis - tenor saxophone on "moose the mooche" You don’t have to be an aficionado to know this is from New Orleans. Notes just list personnel and tune titles. Recorded 1987 it’s all over now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8IkuLp6--E oop pop a dah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8bOpSFKssA moose the mooche https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXeUPI1DSrQ **black drawers / blue piccolo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaKxegeChbc **Could that be our distinguished OP on vocals??? One can only speculate. Cheers |
While I was on my "Walk About" (Australian phrase), you guys were posting some of the best jazz I've ever heard. I think I commented on some of it. The latest was "Erroll Garner"; I once had a dream where his "Misty" was playing all the way through the dream. Needles to say, it was a beautiful dream; I even hated when I woke up, I tried to go back to sleep and pick up where it left off, but that didn't work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erroll_Garner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxVGzuopnow&list=PLd06FP4HjGQWM3aMic-OdKsMQ5Je5YDYW |
