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.

Nice, but different, if memory serves, Boat to NY.

When you get the time, talk about The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra vs Wynton's group at Lincoln Center.

I just got the CD of NOJO with Cyrille Aimee.

Thanks

SMOKIN' AT THE HALF NOTE

Verve    1965 / 2005

Wynton Kelly(piano), Wes Montgomery(guitar), Paul Chambers(bass), Jimmy Cobb(drums)

Notes: A legendary session recorded live at a New York nightclub, Smokin' at the Half Note captures Wes Montgomery at the height of his improvisational powers....Many consider it the best performance on record by one of the most inventive guitarists in Jazz history.
