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.

Just watched the Netflix Miles Davis Birth of the Cool documentary.  I'm not really a Miles Davis fan as but I will say I'm more of one today than yesterday.  Great soundtrack.

Big Davis fan here, as a Jazz player.  No so much as a Trumpet player.  Armstrong, Marsalis, Edison and Eldridge are my favorites.

Maybe he played muted trumpet just a little too much.
