i think i'll leave the list as it was..

Thelonious Monk Off Minor

Ive been swapping over to a new laptop. All mod cons and tons of disk space, so one of the jobs has been to move across all the music ive got elsewhere. As you can guess, theres always a challenge to get rid of duplicate files, so for the last couple of days ive been through the entire library. Found a load of Jazz!
ive switched to media monkey rather than itunes. seems ok at present, though it has one annoying habit of linking to a webpage for the song track if it gets a chance. And thats how i found out aboiut Off Minor by Thelonious Monk. on an album called the Black Box of Jazz..

Its not a show off track. but its a classic line-up. Left me speechless, so for more words...

Heres a page of appreciation from the Daily Guru.

The Daily Guru: February 17: Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane, "Off Minor"

so dredging among the gigabytes im going to find a lot more tracks ive never listened to. looking forward to it... Thanks Black box of Jazz for a splendid potted jazzography
