Ages since I listened to the DB Octet actually - cool!
It's pretty remarkable how much condescension the Octet recordings get.
Bean bops to Monk -- great players and arrangement. And Claude Thornhill is always a treat. As Duke Ellington said to his widow, "I wonder if the world will ever know what it has lost in this beautiful man." Thanks for all of this fine music.
Not at all...thanks for the look-in and comment.
