Hi Ken,
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed your Monk broadcast on Live 365. What struck me most was that no matter who is playing it is difficult to take the Monk out of one of his compositions, also that most of the tracks rely strongly on having a good drummer and bass player. Glad that you were able to include tracks from Steve Lacy, and of course included one of your favourites i.e. Mal Waldron.
Alexander Von Schlippenbach was new to me, and it has subsequently been a joy to listen to some of his back catalogue.
I hope you are enjoying your new venture on 365, it must be exhausting putting it all together.
MrD
Thanks so much for your comment, Mr. D. Putting this together is work, but not really exhausting. I am very good at doing it the easy way.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to turn you on to Von Schlippenbach. He is quite the thing. His Pakistani Promade is worth a listen, though it is quite challenging. I agree with everything you say about Monk's compositions. And yes, Lacy and Waldron are essential.
More is coming!
