AllenLowe Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 good stuff - reminds me of that time at the Clinton inauguration when one of the MTV babes, having seen TS Monk, asked someone (quite seriously): "Who is The Loneliest Monk?

Dan Gould Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 good stuff - reminds me of that time at the Clinton inauguration when one of the MTV babes, having seen TS Monk, asked someone (quite seriously): "Who is The Loneliest Monk? Actually I believe the story was that as a candidate, Clinton did an MTV interview and having been told that his favorite musician was Thelonious Monk, the interviewer was said to have screamed at her assistant, "find out who The Loneliest Monk is!" BTW, that interviewer was Kennedy, far from a babe and also known to be a Republican, so that must explain it. Anyway ... very funny stuff, and sometimes unexpectedly perceptive: "Jazz is more profound when it doesn't help pay the bills." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Dizzy Cellespic. Considering how long serious jazz mags such as the French JAZZ HOT insisted on writing about one Dizzy GILLEPSIE for YEARS after 1946 it is not hard to see how such mixups occur. "The loneliest Monk" is a classic, of course, but several others from that list do have all the potential of becoming both unwittingly wise statements and running gags for years to come.

DukeCity Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I taught a jazz appreciation class for a couple of years at DePaul U in Chicago. One of the best concert reports I got was from a student who went to the Jazz Showcase to hear "Stanley Turntable"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
