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.

Riverside / OJCCD   1957 / 1987

Thelonious Monk(piano), Ernie Henry(alto sax), Sonny Rollins(tenor sax), Oscar Pettiford(bass), Max Roach(drums), Clark Terry(trumpet), Paul Chambers(bass)
