I just discovered a "lost" Thelonius Monk performance!!! |
|
...no kiddin'...my Dad taped it secretly at a 1963 club performance, of Monk and his band...I'm not arguing the ethics of that, maybe they weren't so uptight in those days...and have no idea about the logistics of it all...but I discovered it recently in some old stuff of his that I had never gone thru, for some reason--though Dad died 30 years ago...it's a long story...anyway--all it has is a label marked "Monk--1963"...and it's obviously a club, and not a concert...the sound is fuzzy, and you can't hear Charlie Rouse too good...but you can hear Monk just fine...in top form...and no one's heard it in 44 years!!! How cool is that...?

More ways than one.
Have it transferred to digital right away, then protect the tape and put it in a bank vault.
