Think of Monk by Ethan Iverson in the New Yorker. Article in Ethan’s blog about writing the article, Monk Centennial: Primary and Secondary Documents Comment by Michael Cuscuna in today’s Jazz Gazette, referring to the article in Ethan’s blog: “Thelonious Monk: A Centennial Treasure Chest Any observation that comes out of Ethan Iverson’s brain is worth serious consideration. While I am not always in accord with his encyclopedic commentary on Monk’s recordings and compositions, I find everything he has to say enlightening and insightful. This is a great read and his comment on Billy Higgins is spot on. During a soundcheck for the Bobby Hutcherson-Harold Land Quintet at Royce Hall in 1981, Billy was late. But when he finally sat down at the drums, I could feel the music lift ten feet off the ground.”
