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.

Jubilee / Rhino 1957 / 2022 2CD set.

Very nice booklet with pictures, but overall very bad cardboard tri-fold packaging. Disc two is all alternate takes.
