Public shout out to Tom for this thread. Been a glorious day, since work was manageable, I more or less caught a good portion today....and on into the night. Sincerely appreciated.

I was listening to the broadcast and WKCR played a recording at Minton's Playhouse with Charlie Christian on guitar and Monk. They quartet was playing Rhythm 'A' Ning. I never heard this before. Does anyone know if this is available on CD?

That's a really great tribute by his son. I shed a tear.

I didn't think there were any recordings of Christian and Monk. This would be a great find.

I thought so too, but Phil Schapp said it was Monk and Christian and Kenny Clarke play Rhythm 'A' Ning. I don't recall  the bassist. The sound was pretty awful though on the recording.
