notes:

The Good Life is an album by saxophonist Willis Jackson which 
was recorded in 1963 and released on the Prestige label
Allmusic awarded the album 2½ stars stating "IIt's pleasing, if unsurprising,
 early-'60s organ soul-jazz with a good balance between brass, organ, 
and guitar, perhaps more useful as club groove music than home listening".
