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.

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

THE LATIN SIDE OF HORACE SILVER

Savant  2020

Notes: "In the bandleaders words, Latin side sessions offer a "reimagining" -- or, as I I like to say in layperson's terms -- a "Latinization" of said artists' music."

Great Playing throughout.   The amount of Silver heard varies by tune.
