Monk and Bird, besides the one live track from the Dean Benedetti recordings, are there any others? I couldn't find anything else. The LOC has a concert of Bird and Monk. It appears to be unheard music since it resides on tape. The recording is from the Gerry Mulligan collection given to the LOC after he passed in the 90s. Someone I know put in a request to have the tape digitalized so he can give a listen. This needs to be issued. I wonder why no record company has made an effort to get the rights to issue this.
You can find some more recordings here on my Facebook group.

Would anyone have a guess of a bass player whose first name is Luther? I got a recording of a George Van Eps that someone made back in 1997. George calls him by his first name. I can’t think of any jazz bassist named Luther.
This was released earlier this year. I just recently discovered it. It is mostly alternate takes from the original release from 1985. It's very enjoyable.
On all streaming platforms there is someone called Nathan Jaz. The music is a piano trio combo, and each tune sounds so much like every other tracks. Is this a real person or an AI programming creating music? Does anyone know?
Same here, the one time I saw him was with Jimmy Heath. I liked his playing that night. I bought his Steeple Chase CD that was being sold at the gig.
RIP.
The Band was so good. Robbie wrote some great songs. RIP.

Anyone interested in hearing Zappa with Roland Kirk? It's on my Facebook group and my cloud drive.

How many tunes can you think of that use the changes to Rhythm Changes?
Here are four I can think of off the top of my head.
Sonny Rollins', Oleo,
Denzel Best's, Move
Charlie Parker's Anthropology
Duke Ellington's Cotton Tail.
Yeah. I feel the same.
I don’t know the show. The tv is on and you hear Sonny speak a few words. He must have been watching tv and decided to tape the audio? But Sonny was always a critic about his playing and just erased it.
