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.

Notes : In this Paris album, Dexter's colleagues have a long history as a unit in that city...This, therefore, is not a date with a pick-up rhythm section.
