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.

Sonny Rollins

TENOR MADNESS

Prestige / OJC   1956 / 1987

Notes : On Tenor Madness, Coltrane takes the first solo and also leads off on the chases.

"Chases" -- A series of short musical passages (trading fours or twos) played by several players at a fast tempo.

Horace Silver

HORACE SILVER AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS

Blue Note    1954-55 / 1987

Notes : It was decided that this date would present Horace as a combo leader for the first time.  He responded by getting Kenny Dorham and Art Blakey to join himself and two of the members of his Minton's quartet, Hank Mobley and Doug Watkins.  Thus The Messengers were born, or reborn.  Actually the name had been used before by Art Blakey when he led a 17 piece band on occasional gigs, and a septet on Blue Note, both in the late Forties.
