O, no.

Of course, 'John Coltrane Live In Kilburn' is also an unlikely reality (the Gaumont, I think).

Glad you redressed the North/South balance with that one, sidewinder

Charlie Parker at Storyville (Blue Note)

[New British Jazz]

I love those venue names. Can you imagine 'Miles in Pinner' or 'Sony Rollins at the Panshanger Golf Complex , Welwyn Garden City.'

... or Monk at Hanger Lane Gyratory System Coming back from fantasy to actuality, Lanny Morgan at the Cheadle Hulme Conservative Club took some beating!

Just started Balzac's "La Comédie Humaine," starting with "Le Père Goriot." I've never read Balzac.

[Thelonious Monk's playing on the Columbia albums]

One of my all-time favourites(and the first Monk album I got) is "Solo Monk". A wonderful album, he plays great on that one.

Here is a list of all Monk's compositions:

Of a total of 72 original compositions, it seems like 17 was first recorded from 1960 and on.

Interesting statistic!

well the beard in the picture is not the (much fuller) type of beard i'd associate with a jazz fan... actually i look a lot like the portrait (which is why i picked it, haven't read any of that guy's stuff though i want to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Rodenbach) but i don't have that beard

Glad you've picked a picture that looks like you, Niko. I always find it a bit disconcerting not to know whether or not I'm looking at an image or near-image of the poster. I mean, does Allen Lowe really look like one of Richard Nixon's seedier henchmen? Or does Medjuk look like Clarence Williams - or is that a photo of someone else?

me, only picture i have, actually even with some sort of beard, but that one was not intended

Nice one, Niko!
