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.
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!
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.
I like Bach. Have a lot of music on CD by him. But I must confess, I never think about God while listening to his music. From the wrong church I guess. I only think of God when listening to Messiah.
