You've got to love a country that has produced this pinnacle of American culture.
Great jazz makes me a lot more patriotic than any piece of cloth or martial melody ever could.

About Me
- True Blue Liberal
- According to the results of free non-scientific online tests, TBL found that he was "Existentialist", "Communist", and "A Grammar God," i.e., if he were a short wall-eyed Frenchman rather than a 6'3" blond American, he would be constantly mistaken for Jean-Paul Sartre!

Dear SC, Of course anyone who has ever spent five minutes really listening to Thelonious Monk in a small group or alone knows that he is one of America's enduring legacies to the world, but to have his performace from 1957 at the top of the Amazon charts for at least four days in a row (it's still there this morning, AND they're out of stock) gives me hope for our country, and the world. There are people hearing Epistrophy and Blue Monk and Crepuscule with Nellie for the first time! and their minds are being opened and ... they're becoming more human and ... it's just a wonderful thing. I can't tell you how happy this makes me.
Now that is some welcome news.
True story - the biggest favor my classically-trained piano teacher ever did was to hand me a copy of Blue Monk when I wanted to learn jazz piano. I never did get good at jazz, but I've been a Monk fan ever since.
