The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

Glad you like the music. 

Jazz is hard for me I don't always get it.  Been trying for a couple years and the needle is starting to move but most of jazz intricacies are musically way over my head.

 

As with any type of music, no one likes it all.   Most times, there is nothing to "Get".  It just strikes a chord with you, or it does not.  Any Jazz tune with the word BLUES in the title is a safe place to start.   BTW, Jazz intricacies are musically way over most of our heads, The Frogman being an exception.  But that's no reason not to enjoy the music.

Cheers

I can't speak for others with my many flaws . but for me something  knocks me over

It is generally true for me too....

But there is sometimes exception...

I listened to all Bruckner symphonies and the one i like the less after many listening became the one i love the most because of his depth and meaning...It was impossible  for me to grasp that at first listening... For example the 6-7-8-9 th are all more easy and beautiful to listen... But the 5th is so deep in expressing life mystereies that beauty is not the word... When beauty and truth married i call that the deepest meaning... Try it.... The music recreated through his themas and motives  repeated in the finale long  fugue the remembered meaning of a human life after death...

The symphony is a wheel circling us like our life did....
