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.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

BUDDY BOLDEN'S RAG

featuring Lester Bowie

Notes: The word JAZZ wasn't connected to the music until about 20 years after the music became popular in New Orleans.  The popular term for syncopated music at the time was Rag.
