ReplyDeleteIt's pretty remarkable how much condescension the Octet recordings get.
ReplyDeleteBean 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.
ReplyDeleteNot at all...thanks for the look-in and comment.
