Keegiam, you misunderstood my post so badly, that there is no way I can respond to your post.
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 only that Keegiam, you didn't even respond to the music. Lately, I seem to be the subject of discussion as opposed to the music, and in a negative sort of way.. I can handle that, but what bothers me even more than that is what I consider "mediocre" music. Maybe we'll get some new aficionados with better taste in music and maybe we won't, but in the meantime I'll keep wishing and hoping. |
It would be strange indeed, if a Jazz lover did not have a copy of music recorded by a person he knew personally. How he felt about the music does not enter into it. I played trumpet in high school with a guy who is HUGE in the ’Free’ Jazz scene. I have his most highly regarded recorded output, and I think it’s all pure noise. But, we went to school together and I dated his sister. How can I not have it? Keegiam, you have displayed an ’audiophile’ attitude. I always thought this thread was an 'audiophile free zone'. Cheers |
What you misunderstood Keegiam is the fact that I have a hard time listening to Leon because he's no longer with us, and with my upgraded rig, I can see his face when I hear his voice, and that's very painful because it brings back memories of him that go all the way back to childhood. I loved Leon as a person, and I love his music as well, but I find the fact that he's no longer in the land of the living very painful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CQhTm78fcw |
