Continuing on now with. The music of musicians born in 1017 the loneliest monk we heard him on the 1st. Track I played this evening from the disease p. And Charlie Parker album. Tony s. Monk is one of the best known composers of jazz I think he writes only 2nd to Duke Ellington in the number of recordings made of songs he composed by other jazz musicians but. The Loneliest Monk didn't play only his own music he would play other people's music as well. Polonius monk doing the Gershwin composition lies on and it was Monk on the piano Oscar Pettiford on the bass on Art Blakey on the drums. And the album is the unique and Monk was certainly unique both as a human as an individual and as any musician. In 1957 John Coltrane was getting clean from drugs and once he kicked them he stayed clean the rest of his life he came to the loneliest monk and said I'd like to study with you and they spent the summer and fall of 1957 together here's one of the recordings they made during that time. the bass and shadow Wilson was on the drums the tune composed in fact all the turns on this album composed by Monk about one Ruby my dear and the album is simply titled Polonius monk with John Coltrane they had a long run in the fall of 1957 not club at a club called the 5 Spot in New York City and John Coltrane said his time with Lonnie us monk he learned more about jazz and in fact even more about playing a ton or sax working what's thrown a smile at any point in his life and it. Is to pick all that jazz musicians to mentor and help one another and it was certainly the case with the lowness monk and John Coltrane Coltrane went on being cleaned up from drugs Miles Davis took him back he did some great work with Miles and Miles helped John Curran John Coltrane form his own group and. John Lennon. Took up I would say a religious quest and moved into free jazz in the latter part of his life his wife Alice was a an authentic garde jazz pianist and very much into eastern religions which. John I'm sure learned a lot from being married to her her son Ravi is and currently a well respected jazz tenor saxophonist. Billy Butterfield was a great trumpeter back in the day and I couldn't find a. Tune that was strictly Billy on the trumpet but here is Billy Butterfield heading his own arc a strong you'll hear him on the trumpet he would also hear Margaret Whiting on the vocal. And that was Billy Ball or field on the trumpet leading his orchestra and accompanying Margaret Whiting the tune my ideal before that we heard 2 tons. From Felonious Monk Lysa and then we heard Polonius monk with John Coltrane Ruby my dear was thing the name of that. Democratic senator Kamel Harris has asked insistent questions at hearings on Russian interference that some colleagues criticized her she says she's a seeker of truth that means asking a lot of questions that are focused on facts and not necessarily feelings questions on Russia and a Republican health plan on the next morning edition weekdays starting at 5 am on 91.5 k.

This is the jazz excursion with her host Dick Perley and I've been preacher emotionally musicians who were born and 1917 and who are they still alive they would be celebrating their 100th birthday this year. Going to take a break from those musicians and play some new releases we've received here in the studio and we're going to start with some gypsy jazz. Sweet music song fan Manilow. Soon thing. Live this. Long and such meetings sell 3 new releases we heard Kory weeds on the tenor sax just there the album is has of a now and the tune Edward Lee's in the name of the tune it was Harold may burn on piano John Weber on acoustic bass and Joe Farnsworth drums 3 people that Corey weeds Often records with before that we heard John Francis was a born l. And his swinging jazz cannot and they did one lights are low and the booklist was a Sharman Michel. And we started this with gypsy jazz from Pearl Django is the name of their group and their instrumentation is a bass of violin and an accordion and 2 guitars and they did the tune Floyd Hoyt Rides Again good for Floyd I guess.

Going into the last set of the evening and Ron is here he's given about ready for his already gay show after the n.p.r. Hourly news at 10 o one to be precise and I have a couple more. Tunes that I want to play that feature musicians born in 1017. So far we've heard the composer heard from the composer tat dam or on the percussionist Mungle Santa Maria with her vocal style of Fitzgerald trumpet her Charlie Shavers drummer Buddy Rich pianist the holy s. Monk trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie we just heard Eddie clean and Benson on book Island alto sax we heard Billy Butterfield on trumpet we heard the bassist curly Russell and we heard the vocalist Helen Forster all of those people born in 1017. One person we haven't heard from. Probably we wouldn't classify as a jazz musician. But let's listen to her anyway. Was. Was. Feeling a little. Bit and they never. Just . Beat. Me was. A good. And that of course is Lena Horne doing stormy weather. This recording we just heard is from the soundtrack of the movie cabin in the sky 1942 the movie was supposed to be. The star was supposed to be at the loggers but in fact Lena Horne pretty much stole the show and made her fame. And I guess stormy weather then became Lena Horne theme song the movie cabin in the sky if you ever have a chance to see it it was an all Negro cast and a lot of great musicians I can remember I know Cab Calloway Duke Ellington maybe Louis Armstrong and a lot of maybe lesser known jazz musicians who were in that movie The story is pretty much. Not much of a story at all but it is a vehicle for. Chance to see a lot of famous musicians who probably weren't. Filmed or. Recorded video recorded that much in those days tad dam or on we heard a couple of tunes that he composed in particular. What's new on the turn the became known as what's new. We're going to play another Ted dam on composition the band is led by Doug McDonald and the tune is our delight. a lot of questions that are focused on facts and and.
