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.

Mary Lou Williams

SOLO RECITAL

Pablo / OJCCD     1978 / 1998

Notes : As Duke Ellington once said of Mary Lou's playing and composing, she is both "always contemporary" and "always a little ahead."

Wiki : Mary Lou Williams (born Mary Elfrieda Scruggs; May 8, 1910 – May 28, 1981)[1] was an American jazz pianist, arranger, and composer. She wrote hundreds of compositions and arrangements and recorded more than one hundred records (in 78, 45, and LP versions).  Williams wrote and arranged for Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, and she was friend, mentor, and teacher to Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, and Dizzy Gillespie.
