Have to admire your dedication to the wireless, Bill!

JRR was good tonight - the Don Byas/Slam Stewart track was great - never heard that. Ornette's Rambin' which is wonderful.

And the Duke track at the end (Kinda Dukish/Rockin' in Rhythm) sent me straight to 'The Great Paris Concert'.

Afraid I forgot JRR tonight - thrown by the BBC's retiming, doubtless to make way for more elevating classical fare! By the way, what is this "wireless"? I'm listening to a crystal set.

"Jazz from Monterey: 1958, The Birth of a Festival" on Night Lights from WFIU

My friend, Tim Duroch from manyapples, has a nice avant-guarde show on KMHD 9-10pm Mondays. The show before him is good too.

"Jazz from Monterey: 1958, The Birth of a Festival" on Night Lights from WFIU

Having heard this program, my overriding impression is of the amazing weath of talent in jazz at the time. But then, it was only a few months before 1959, which now seems to be generally recognized as an annus mirabilis for jazz.

The New Thing, right? Night Lights comes on after it at 10 out there.

BillF, thanks for listening to the Monterey show. I'm going to do more that highlight other years from the festival going forward.
