I like that record.

^{Tania Maria "Live at the Blue Note"}

^{I needed that Funky Tamborin energy. This is a lively cd.}

[Rabshakeh]

Don Ellis – Tears Of Joy (Columbia, 2011) 

Still exploring 60s/70s big band records (Jones/Lewis, Gerald Wilson, Maynard Ferguson, CBBB, etc), which, as noted elsewhere, was not an area I really had explored before. This is a fun one.

[jazzbo]

A very interesting cd. Sort of bossa, sort of new agey folk, very soothing.

Chie "Ilha de Sol"

Maybe it´s due to my generation  or the bunch of guys I was around, that THIS one and let´s say stuff like Mingus´ "Ellington Medly" and of course Ellington himseslf with Mingus and Roach was the first "Ellington" I heard. 
If I play an Ellington ballad like "I got it Bad" or something like that I think I´ll never get rid of the monkish voicings and touch of it since that´s the way I hear it in my head...

I believe this is still a rather undervalued session within the Monk Discography ....

If you want to hear or even see Monk playing Ellington on another occasion you might like his solo set from 1969 in Berlin. I think it´s on a DVD I think I have it but my DVD player got "kaputt" some years ago and every few month I decide to buy another one but am too lazy and say maybe in autumn.....
