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. 
Genre Immaterial.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

Miles Davis

BAG'S GROOVE

Prestige   1954 / 2008   RVG Remaster

Notes : "I remeber this session well, I remember how the musicians wanted to sound, and I remember their reactions to the playbacks.  Today, I feel strongly that I am their messenger." ---  Rudy Van Gelder

And folks say Miles had a big ego.
