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

Our Leader was wise in saying any genre . Many of the folk songs of other countries can unite the entire as one . This was the one that can do same for all Scotland.. These Scotts in their thousands are out to play Denmark at home The "High" means the dead Scottish Soldier will be back home before his love. It is so meaning full in that the Scottish Soldiers were the ones first to battle by the English .

I was introduced to The Gospel at Colonus from its airing on PBS (a DVD was later released but no longer available). The story of Oedipus set to gospel music is irresistible. I saw it performed live in the 1990's, with some of the original cast including The Blind Boys of Alabama. It was one of the most memorable performances of anything I've seen. |
Original Cast Recording THE GOSPEL AT COLONUS Nonesuch 1988 Wikipedia: The Gospel at Colonus is an African-American musical version of Sophocles's tragedy, Oedipus at Colonus. The show was created in 1983 by the experimental-theatre director Lee Breuer, one of the founders of the seminal American avant-garde theatre company Mabou Mines, and composer Bob Telson.

Well rok , A recording is not a live concert . I n the last 50+ yearsI have been to over 2,000 live Classical concerts . A dozen of them were the LSO . They have the power of Berlin and with English composers (some) the melody of Vienna . It is what I said it is , good as any . When Previn had it better at times .I have not heard Cleveland in 40 yrs, All I know is that Cleveland is THE poorest of any major American city , what that means for the Orchestral world I now not what..

This tread to me is all what the forums should be. 👍 My only wish is that instead of YouTube videos they could be placed on a Qobuz playlist so I wouldn't have to look up each track / artist and add them to by favorites manually. 1st world problems Sisters & BroThers Eric Bibb, Rory Block & Maria Muldaur - Bessie's advice

@asvjerry Not sure if your comment was in my general direction but it is a point well taken but there are issues. Good to Be Back Home · Charles Bradley · Menahan Street Band Really nice cut. Sounds like James Brown. Modern but would I rather listen to James? So a more modern representation that doesn’t really sound like anyone from the past but has elements Hiatus Kaiyote - Choose Your Weapon Shaolin Monk Motherfunk https://youtu.be/ya7aDtEdTTo?list=RDya7aDtEdTTo Jekyll · Hiatus Kaiyote https://youtu.be/sm0NgVtz1YQ?list=PLYNXcgRtGK8EdRW2ZGjs-uZlpvlw3go0Z Laputa · Hiatus Kaiyote https://youtu.be/82DBdsi8L6E?list=PLYNXcgRtGK8EdRW2ZGjs-uZlpvlw3go0Z Swamp Thing · Hiatus Kaiyote https://youtu.be/wM9yqvkifDs?list=PLYNXcgRtGK8EdRW2ZGjs-uZlpvlw3go0Z If a new band performs the standards is it modern?
