Apropos, as either Mr. Criss or Mr. Cross died this past week. Yes, you remember; the 70's child rappers wearing clothes backwards.
More to the subject, anything by Mr. T. Monk is welcome on my speakers.

Hey some of you, lighten up! I feel this Monk piece is enlightening, and transfixing in ways, not the dreary dreck from the old Phil Schaap radio days

This would be more properly considered be-bop jazz. In the 1960s, avant garde would be redefined by Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, among others, and that is nothing like this. |

(In my best British accent...)
"And now for something completely different...." I wonder if a soundbite of that is available somewhere that Bill could use.
(Of course, adding that kind of production work would take some of the personal touch from RP.)
Ahh, I love Monty Python. Too bad the wife just doesn't get it.

Liner notes on this album by the " Jazz Baroness".....Baroness de Koenigswarter.
Thelonious owed a lot to her.What a great story.

I don't really like this type of jazz, although I respect anyone with the chops to perform it - it takes an awesome amount of talent, which he has in abundance. And you should see a doctor soon about that ruptured pancreas. I've heard that if it gets ruptured, the fluids go straight to the left cerebral cortex and cause a person to grow antlers.   |
