"Good" Music


Like probably everyone else on this forum, i'm always seeking out new music to enjoy. Maybe you could recommend something. Do you have any not so popular or obscure records that you think are really "good"?  Thanks

If you haven't, please try Bandcamp. It has a ton of music you can sample from just about any genre. This is where I found The Ominfic's Escapades (great progish album).

@manhattan1 have you heard Mark Isham's Vapor Drawings. I'm not partial to trumpet either, but this is a good record.

@baylinor I've heard of less than half of the people you mentioned (really like caravan). So there are quite a few I can look into. Thanks

If someone try just for new music try India music...

It is as sophisticated as West music with magnificent rythms...

Or try African music...I recommended Yoruba talking drums...

Also Persia created stunning music...

Turkey too ...

China can be surprising ...

Add to American jazz world jazz...

 I like Fado...

Did you ever listen to this Portuguese guitar and singing tradition?

 

 I like also a lot Russian musicians  and choral songs...

As reveal my avatar...

Nothing beat an octavist....
