Via Marvin over at New Sophists’ Almanac, here’s a bit of news that brings me joy, about the finding of a lost 1957 recording of a Carnegie Hall show performed by Trane and Monk from that mysterious time when they were playing in a band together.

I feel like having a party. You can listen to a few tracks at the above NPR link, too! (It’s what I’m doing as I post this, of course.)

    I’ve been listening to this concert and also to Monk’s “Misterioso” album a lot for the last couple of weeks. Very cool.

    I gotta get one that. I listened to the clips but then promptly let it slip my mind, as I’m into other things right now. Namely Ezra Pound.
