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.

@rok2id Not familiar with "Dexter Gordon and Orchestra MORE THAN YOU KNOW SteepleChase 1975 / 1989"

But I have yet to be disappointed by anything I have purchased on Steeplechase Records.

Same here.  Maybe  I should have said : does not rise to the level of most of his recordings for SteepleChase.
