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.

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.

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."

Excerpt from The Last Miles:
Live Around The World: On recording Miles’s last concert

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and you can be sure that if anyone had known that Miles’ performance at the Hollywood Bowl on 25 August 1991 would be his last, a video crew would have been dispatched to the stadium and probably a remote recording facility too. As it happened, this final performance was not even recorded professionally. Indeed, Miles’ concert sound mixer, Don Kurek didn’t even use a DAT [digital] recorder. Instead, he plugged an analogue Sony Walkman Pro deck into the mixing desk and in the words of road manager Gordon Meltzer: “ Recorded on the cheapest, one-dollar non-metal tape audio cassette you could get.” The resulting recording was dogged by tape hiss, pops and drop-outs (where the sound disappears because of blemishes on the tape’s oxide coating). Yet the producers of Live Around The World were able to salvage a recording that was good enough to include on a CD, and that was largely thanks to modern studio technology.
