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. Genre Immaterial.
Wikipedia : Wayne Shorter is an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Shorter came to prominence in the late 1950s as a member of, and eventually primary composer for, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. In the 1960s, he joined Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet, and then co-founded the jazz fusion band Weather Report.
Night Dreamer is Shorter's first Blue Note album as leader.
Notes : If the repertoire on this album is heavily weighted toward the Blues, this is, after all, at its core, a Kansas City band and one that is able to show the infinite variety and invention that can be drawn from this simple form. Sixteen swinging men at their peak, off the road and playing at the club they call home -- it doesn't get any better!
Healing Tide by The War And Treaty. TWAT (oh my ;-) are actually Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, a Gospel duo. This wonderful 2018 album was produced by another Christian, the great Buddy Miller.
They will be performing at the upcoming Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland Oregon on Saturday July 2nd. Taj Mahal will be on stage the following day, but I believe without his partner on his new album with Ry Cooder.
WAR along with Earth Wind & Fire, the two best bands ever! The percussion on Four Cornered Room can only be fully appreciated thru JBLs powered by Phase Linear Amps set to 'Earth Shattering".
Thanks for the Wynton Marsalis. While it never sounded that good it reminds me of being a kid in the pew of the our small Baptist. That experience shaped my listening preferences today
Wikipedia : Johannes Brahms was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the mid-Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, he spent much of his professional life in Vienna.
Wikipedia : Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music.
God as my witness I would have gone in that School with anything or nothing
Our Governor, at a press conference immediately after the incident, spent the entire time talking about the 'bravery' of the police. Now, he claims he was 'misled' as to the actual events that took place. But you know, normal people don't want to hear about the 'bravery' of cops when 19 children are lying dead. That should not be the first thing out of his mouth. Just goes to show you how shallow and unfeeling some people are. They recite the same political nonsense without any sense or appreciation of time, place or circumstance. Like robots with a shorted circuit.
The cops: A big cowboy hat and a gun does not make you a hero. Action does.
