brownie Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 What's with the Franglish "Portrait of an Ermite"? Does anybody know if the original French label said that or "Portrait d'un Ermite"? It's titled 'Portrait of an Ermite' on the original 10incher on the Swing label Quote
Niko Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Monk was indeed in fine form and a very relaxed mood during that Paris solo session! He was so relaxed he forgot the name of some of his tunes! Actually, I'm guessing the producer renamed them. What's with the Franglish "Portrait of an Ermite"? Does anybody know if the original French label said that or "Portrait d'un Ermite"? And speaking of portraits of ermites: http://info.francetelevisions.fr/video-info/index-fr.php?id-video=000331624_CAPP_Entrevaux04Portraitdunermite_251020111247_F3 just read the corresponding passage in kelleys book and it says (without looking up the details) that andre francis made up titles where he didn't know them...

Pete C Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 If Monk had recorded Reflections for Black Lion they could have titled it Portrait of a Marmite. Quote
