For the Good Times is an album by jazz saxophonist Rusty Bryant recorded for the Prestige label in 1973.^[1]

Reception

R.D Lankford of AllMusic states, "Things get started with tepid versions of the title track and Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song," both veering dangerously close to Muzak territory. The pieces are salvaged, however, by Joe Beck and Hugh McCracken's guitar work and Hank Jones' steady hand at the keyboards".^[2]
