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.

Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers

FREE FOR ALL

Blue Note 1964 / 2004

Notes : The magic that transpired here was absent on Kyoto, though, which is why Free For All remains the true summation of the Hubbard/Fuller/Shorter/Walton Messengers.
