Good News For a Change

Since I don’t have any free minutes I’ll spare you my giggling school girl routine, but the news that a newly discovered tape of Monk and Coltrane performing at the Five Spot in 1957 is about to be released by Blue Note is the best news I’ve heard in a long time. It even has Nutty (giggle)! I used to have a tape of the other live performance Dan discusses, and the quality is as bad as he says, though I would say that it’s listenable and useful to the learning musician, even if you may require a little, er, help getting in the right head.

In the comments on his post, Dan mentions the Miles Davis Live in Stockholm recording. I’ve got the recording of So What from the first set of Live in Stockholm here, if you’re interested in downloading it.
