Grateful Dead May 11, 1977 disc 2 from the “May 1977” box set

Duke Ellington “Such Sweet Thunder” Columbia cd This might start another Ellington binge. Love this music so much.

Cold weather again. . . at least this morning. Ye olde dachshund Fiona is not pleased. I’m warming up with some Monk’s music. Frank Kimbraugh “Monk’s Dream–The Compositions of Thelonious Monk” 6 cd set, disc 5 This is a fascinating set.
