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.

Have you listened to

Ayo - Afro Blue

magos herrera afro blue

Not until now.  Both are nice tunes, but Ayo is the better version of Afro Blue.

Of course, all are good, but Big John takes first prize. :)
