(TV) Jazz

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@mac.com>]

I haven't been watching the Burns special because my TV's been 
flatlined for several months, and I'm not motivated enough to buy 
another (although I think my wife would prefer having one, so we may 
take the plunge).

If we did have a working set, I might feel ambivalent about 
watching--apparently a lot of really good stuff get short shrift from 
Wynton.  Monk, for example, is dispensed with in five minutes, so 
I've read in reviews.  To this end, I finally picked up something 
I've been wanting for years, the Complete Riverside Recordings of 
Thelonious Monk.  6 of his most productive years, including the 
_Brilliant Corners_ sessions, _Himself_, the Town Hall Concert, and a 
whole lot of other stuff...on 15 CDs.  It's amazing.

Just count me as a follower of Monk,
Maurice
