Stork's avatar View Stork's profile Favoriting

With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

coelacanth∅:

i've wondered about when a composer plays "as guest" on one of his (in this case) own songs how that affects the treatment that the "host" (Rollins in this case) artist may have in mind for a song.
(i know it often is not that arrangement, and the same recording might also be on a Monk album or even a Blakey album...but it does happen)

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:25pm
adamdoesit:

coel, that's way above my pay grade about guest and host; but right at the beginning of that "Misterioso," it sounded like Monk shifted from one tempo to another… I wondered if there was some misalignment at the outset, and if the end of the track was a way of playing with/discussing it.

@adadoesit, you probably already know this, but per Ethan Iverson: “Evidence” is based on the older standard, “Just You, Just Me.” In case you aren’t hip: “Just You, Just Me” = “Just Us” = “Justice” = “Evidence.”

I heard something about this album (Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane) packaging - like there were souviner stamps inside - that people then started using to post letters. The label was issued an injunction to recall the records so packaged, and not to do that ever again. I hope it's true.

This is the only recording Monk ever did of "Work." Great, under-known tune.

@adamdoesit: Man, I was born in Paris but didn't realize that dreadful place was named "Place Charles de Gaulle". It's a subway stop to me, and I've had no reason to stop there unless to switch to another line to go to a show (usually at the Japanese cultural center)

If we changed the name of the planet to Monk, would we all be Monklings?

I think I might originally be from planet Monk. It’s a different place for different people. But somehow I ended up here instead and I can’t find my way back!

Jon Hendricks wrote some great lyrics for this tune. Probably the only guy who could.
Avatar 3:17pm
Stork:

Apparently, Monk didn't always give names to his compositions, and wasn't always ready with ideas as to what to call them. Hence song titles like "Bye-Ya" - named for a Latino engineer who kept yelling Vaya" - let's go; "Let's Call This" is a title that needs no explanation - cuz there ain't none.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm
yerfriendpaul:

I’m sure you’ve all seen them but if you haven’t , search online for Monk’s notes to his band. They’re so great and I think many of them reach beyond just music.

On that planet, we'd celebrate Monk Day every April, always in Paris. Climate change would be a matter of too hot a tempo.

There's security in this place? Joking aside, that reminds me of a bouncer at New Morning in Paris. Smartly dressed, friendly but no nonsense, I haven't been there in years but how often is the bouncer one of your fave memories of a venue?

On Planet Monk, doctorjazz treats his patients with applications of music. In his spare time, he does a little surgery on the radio.

adamdoesit, could you clarify? Does doctorjazz perform surgery UPON a radio, or does he perform surgery while the procedure is being transmitted to a fascinated, albeit somewhat aghast, listening public?

Stork, I'm sorry to be so obscure. On Planet Monk, people never sicken or die, but, as if in recompense, radio programs require annual physicals, innoculations, and sometimes even surgical attention. The good doctorjazz keeps them in tip-top shape.
