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.

Awesome Stormy Monday Blues!  Awesome Clark Terry!  Thanks.  

Now, what Gershwin (hint) tune does Clark quote?  😊.  Brilliant.  
 

(Hope all is well with you)

Now, what Gershwin (hint) tune does Clark quote?

 

I could not detect the quote. If he had not used that silly mute, I might have. The curse of Miles. Muddy even drowned him out.

The performance does show how Jazz and Blues can meld seamlessly.

I am well. How are things in the Big Apple? The Governor here in Texas offered me a free bus ticket if I would move there. What a guy!

Cheers

Big Apple is…….well, it’s been better.  Cleaner, at least.  What a guy, indeed, but I always figured you were legal 😊.

“It Ain’t Necessarily So” @ 1:20.  Plunger mute, perfect for the Blues.  Best.
