echt "an adjective in the German and Dutch languages meaning genuine or authentic". (As quoted by Leeway). All that time spent on Latin and Greek wasn't going to help me with this one :-)

Thanks for that, Leeway. I shall be adding "echt" to What Word Did You Learn Today?

Still with Fitzgerald, this one set in pre-revolutionary Russia.

You're right. It's a beautiful tune. I haven't heard Rossano's version, but it's also on Coleman Hawkins' Here and Now, Roland Kirk's Left & Right and Jesper Thilo has recorded it with Hank Jones. The wonders of the Spotify index!

Lucky lucky lucky. Lucky indeed .. ... though a belated question (I noticed this thread only now): I pulled out my copy of Bill Birch's "Keeper of the Flame" book, hoping to find photos of that concert, but the text (and picture caption) mentions Larry Gales (b) and Ben Riley (dr) for the 1961 (May) concert of Monk at the FTH. Same musicians as for Monk's 1965 concert at the FTH. Who's right, who's wrong, I wonder? No, it was Dunlop and Ore at the FTH in May 1961. I was there! Ore was sent out first to play lengthy solos alone as Monk was in one of his slow-to-show moods. When the group finally appeared, Dunlop's bouncy swing was like something I'd never heard before!
