SFJazz Collective “Original Compositions and Works of Thelonious Monk” disc 1

I saw whatever tune(s) they recorded in SF. I've seen quite a few of their annual performances over the years. It's an interesting project. Some years are better than others. That was a good one.

I have all the sets but the most recent one or two . . . really like them all.

Right now

22 degrees and it won’t get much warmer. No snow predicted though.

Charlie Mariano presents an interesting mixture for me. He has and continues to be a be bopper, a beautiful ballad player, & also plays music very unappealing to me.

Thankfully, this album us dominated by some very beautiful music, with just perhaps 2 tunes I can skip over.

On to disc 2 of this set, recorded at Ronnie Scott’s in London in 1969. This would be/would have been a good candidate for the Plangent Process, but still sounds quite good. Marty Morell may not be the most popular drummer that Evans hired, but he had a long tenure and I find much to admire in his drumming (I used to be a drummer myself, some years ago).

A “peppier” Evans performance than many others.
