That reminds me of the spoken introduction to each weekly installment of Schickele Mix on the radio:

"This is a program dedicated to the proposition that All Musics Are Created Equal. Or, as Duke Ellington put it, if it sounds good, it is good."

My three cents is that great music is great music. One of the classic
examples is the Peer Gynt suite. It was NOT intended for a jazz ensemble. However, Duke Ellington recorded a version of it for a jazz band, and to me it sounds beautiful.


Once again, great music is great music, and beauty is oftentimes in the eye
of the beholder.
