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.

schubert"I quit smoking about 50 years ago by walking around the beautiful Central Park in Schenectady for 2 hours while praying for the will to quit."

if you believe that the Almighty Lord is responsible for you're quitting smoking how do you account for the Almighty's allowing the death and destruction that plagues our  world today have you not prayed to the Almighty to end such horrors?

So you will seek from the Almighty answer's that benefit you but you don't pray to the Almighty for anything to benefit others well then may He have mercy on you.

When I was four or five years of age, I got up in the morning with my mom to drink coffee with her before she went to work.

Not drinking coffee is almost un-American.

Unless I missed it, I can't find a single mention of Charlie Parker. Not sure I saw Dizzy either. Paquito D'Rivera. Paul Desmond. Lots of great names not mentioned at all.

@nsiert,


I see the post above is your first. I can assure you 100% that all of the jazz artists you mentioned have been discussed on this forum to many times to count. I guess those represent some of your personal favorites.


The OP of this thread is dated 2/24/2013 and it has 362 pages with over 18,000 posts and going on 7 years this February. I'm sure if you browsed through the thread you will find what you are looking for or just post some of your own favorite artists and songs.


Welcome to the thread!

After the last 3 pages filled with 25% jazz and 75% Geo politics and religious posts I just couldn't resist. I kept posting jazz music with no responses on the subject and so...……

Welcome Nsiert, 

I am sure there are a lot of oversights on our part. If you want to solve the problem, just post the Jazz you want to discuss or hear.

mary_jo, your Black Coffee link was a memory lane trip.  About the time I started college I joined the Columbia Record Club.  The promotion at that time provided maybe 8 LPs.  One I selected was Sarah's "After Hours" which included "Black Coffee".  Luckily I stumbled upon some albums which became classics with my selections.

But now with much of this recent discussion here I may not be back for awhile, not that that should matter to those who like non-jazz posts.

Reading any post is totally optional . This one is as classy as it gets . There are no better audiences than Hungarians , both in jazz and classical .

Awesome Ornette, acman3! Segueing from Schubert’s post, something a little different. Jazz on the Tarogato; Hungarian national instrument. Scott Robinson, one of the most interesting players around and fan of unusual horns:

(Appropriate song title, btw; given recent goings on.

A bunch of music makers sliding into a sort of modern swing . The drummer , Nils Conrad , stands out IMO .
