Looking forward to listening to this, later today...

My earliest memories of taking an interest in (modern) jazz are of Brubeck's 'Take Five" - and the film "Jazz on a Summer's Day" with Monk doing strange things to a piano!

Regards

I've heard a great cover of Thelonius Monk's song "Blue Monk" on The Steep Canyon Rangers' album North Carolina Songbook. While not a 'traditional' bluegrass song, I think it works well.

I thought that was terrific. Lots I didn't know before and presented in a cool and unpretentious way.
