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.

RESURRECTION of the BAYOU MAHARAJAH

Rounder   1993

Notes: "Booker had all these musical cats hanging out inside him - Louis Morreau Gottschalk, Jelly Roll Morton, Professor longhair, Chopin, Monk - and they all decided to stand up and go to the piano at the same time.  He was a one-of-a-kind, brilliant, genius."
