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

Is Thelonious Monk considered "avant-garde"???

In the 1950s sense, yes, being the spawn of the moods, rhythm, and atonality of Charles Mingus and Miles Davis. 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.

I always love how he hits the first bar coming out of the tenor sax solo.

How the bloody hell does he play that!?!?

Not the best track to introduce someone to jazz

Perhaps not, but a great intro to one of the undisputed jazz giants.

(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.
