Brad Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Think of Monk by Ethan Iverson in the New Yorker. Article in Ethan’s blog about writing the article, Monk Centennial: Primary and Secondary Documents Comment by Michael Cuscuna in today’s Jazz Gazette, referring to the article in Ethan’s blog: “Thelonious Monk: A Centennial Treasure Chest Any observation that comes out of Ethan Iverson’s brain is worth serious consideration. While I am not always in accord with his encyclopedic commentary on Monk’s recordings and compositions, I find everything he has to say enlightening and insightful. This is a great read and his comment on Billy Higgins is spot on. During a soundcheck for the Bobby Hutcherson-Harold Land Quintet at Royce Hall in 1981, Billy was late. But when he finally sat down at the drums, I could feel the music lift ten feet off the ground.” Edited October 14, 2018 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
