And one the jazz scribes overlook. I had the honor to see him live in NY in the 90’s. He never lost a step.

Agree. I also saw him live in the 90s. A truly memorable experience.

 

Didn’t know this album yet will check it out.

Was trying to stream this last night, and Qobuz only had the Coriolan available, while the other tracks were not. It's all there this morning.

 

Listening now. Sounds wonderful! I'm a big fan of these guys.

You should be listening to this album!

A very nice Bruckner 8:

Another great performance - and decent quality recording - from Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. The lyrics and the monologues are a bit ham-fisted (the music is certainly the more sophisticated part of this show), but still it tells a difficult message that bears repeating, and wraps it up in an appealing musical/dramatic package.

Thanks for mentioning.

 

I have to say that the cover art freaks me out though...

Beautiful chamber music in 24/88, currently available for only €6 at Qobuz during the still ongoing summer sale.

So heart-achingly beautiful, with added 2020 poignancy

From all music.com review "Although often unrightfully maligned by self-proclaimed "purists," Thelonious Monk did some brilliant work during his early- to mid-'60s stint for Columbia Records. It's Monk's Time (1964) contains some of the best -- if not arguably the best -- studio sides that the pianist cut during his final years as a recording musician. "

Sometimes, when the jazz purists or purists of any subject, malign something, it is time to check that thing out. Will add this one to the collection. Can never have too much Monk.
