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.

James Williams and ICU

TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE BLUES

Evidence  1996

Notes : While James Williams calls his Intensive Care Unit "a Jazz-Gospel ensemble, for lack of a better description," its blend of the sacred and the secular and its use of both lyrics and wordless vocals place the pianist's latest project in the beyond-category realm of such immortals as Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams.

Oscar Peterson and Harry Edison

OSCAR PETERSON AND HARRY EDISON

Pablo / OJC  1974 / 1992

Another in a series of excellent recordings by Oscar Peterson with the Great Trumpet players of his day.  All except Miles Davis.  I think I found out why.
