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

Duke Ellington MONEY JUNGLE Blue Note 1962 / 1987 Duke Ellington(piano), Charlie Mingus(bass), Max Roach(drums) Notes: "The title tune is "Money Jungle." This sounds like a title that might have been thought of by the protest conscious Mingus or Roach. But no, as all the tunes here, it is a product of the Ellington imagination."

I suppose that it could be argued that a protest is not much of a protest if it is not in plain “view”. However, some, including some artists, choose to not mix their art with politics; not in an obvious way, anyway. “I merely took the energy that it takes to pout and wrote some blues.” - Duke Ellington
Great record, btw. |
