Today I heard in a waiting room Horace Silver's "Peace" done Muzak. It was really done well. I tried to use Shazam, which I have on my iPhone, to find out who it was, but it didn't recognize who.

He did spend a lot of time in his bedroom. Once at a Barry Harris show at the Vanguard, Barry told a story about Monk. Both were living in the baroness' house in Hackensack. Barry said he was practicing a tune for about 3 hours. Barry said he paused before playing some more. When he started up again, Monk opened his bedroom door and yelled "Shut the fuck up. You know it enough" When I was in the 11th grade, I was in the school band. I had a friend in the band who's mom was Monk's niece. He told our music teacher Monk was his Mom's uncle. Our teacher asked if he could call Monk and see if he would come to the school. My friend's mom called, but he wouldn't come out of his bedroom to talk on the phone. I assuming the woman on the the other end of the call was Nica, but don't know for sure. This was in 1980.

Maynard Ferguson and Jon Hendricks

Sure looks as if Monk is in therapy.

It was on the The national Jazz museum in Harlem Facebook page.

Tony Williams’ telegraph to Sam Rivers.

I’m sure we’ve all seen the film of bird and Dizzy playing hot house. Here is a longer film. I’ve never seen this extended film before

Yes. I was thinking about him.

“Some bad mother fuckers.”

The TV show Melrose Place, there's some scenes in a jazz club. Cedar Walton is playing piano. I've never watched this show. Anyone know if this is true? There is a CD called Melrose Place Jazz. IT does have Cedar in the credits as well as several other jazz musucuans. https://www.allmusic.com/album/melrose-place-jazz-upstairs-at-mp-mw0000032702

The only copy for sale on Amazon is 54 dollars for a used one. Crazy. I'll look for it from Japan.

Anyone here have this session by Cedar Walton? I can only fine it for sale in Japan. I am wondering if it was ever issued outside of Japan.

So sorry for your loss of a family member. It’s tough doing that. I’ve had to make that hard decision before, but the suffering was over. It was the first time my dog was happy to go to the vet. ☹️

A Terrible loss. RIP

RIP.

This is so good. I am listening to this right now. What a tone Houston has.

All the best, Allen.
