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

A NIGHT AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD

Blue Note  1957 / 1987

Sonny Rollins(tenor sax), Wilbur Ware(bass), Elvin Jones(drums), Donald Bailey(bass), Pete La Roca(drums)

Notes : This LP constitutes a double premiere.  For the first time Sonny Rollins is heard appearing before the public as leader of his own combo.  For the first time Village Vanguard, one of New York's most proudly prescient night clubs, comes to life through the medium of an in-person recording.
