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.

THE LATE SYMPHONIES - LEGENDS

London Symphony Orchestra -- Witold Rowicki

Philips   1969 / 1997

Notes: "Arriving in New York in 1892, Dvořák cast himself with enthusiasm into the music of a country he had long admired.  He was delighted by the songs of Stephen Foster, by Afro-American spirituals and folk music.  "It is this spirit which I have tried to reproduce in my new symphony," he later wrote.  He wrote his Ninth Symphony as music sent home "from the New World," adding this phrase as the work's title shortly before its first performance in New York in 1893."

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.

Brooklyn, fourth largest city in America had a symphony orchestra from the mid 1800’s (Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn, later the Brooklyn Philharmonic) until 2010. The Brooklyn Phil was a very fine orchestra known for its innovative programming. Some would argue that it was its emphasis on new works resulting in smaller and smaller audiences that led to its demise. Some interesting factoids about Brooklyn:

Brooklyn is home to over 700 cultural arts institutions and a hotbed of modern Jazz.

Speaking of the Brooklyn Dodgers: the name came about because of its once maze of street cars, pedestrians had to constantly “dodge” the vehicles.

Brooklyn has two “Leaving Brooklyn” highway signs. One reads “Leaving Brooklyn, Oy Vey!”, and my favorite, “Leaving Brooklyn, Fuhgeddaboudit!”

And, of course, its the birthplace of the hotdog 😊
