For All You Monk (Thelonious) Fans and Jazz Ranters






Just a heads up - starting at midnight, October 10 2008 and going for 24 hours straight - that's all day Friday - WKCR FM (89.9 FM) will be broadcasting nothing but the music of the great pianist and composer, Thelonious Sphere Monk, in honor of his birthday. Try to catch some of this as they play a lot of rare recordings that you won't hear anywhere else, interviews, etc. If you've never heard Monk's music, now is your chance to get with it. And the best part is, it's all commercial-free!

In the same vein, they do a Coleman Hawkins broadcast on October 30th. Great saxophone playing from one of the true innovators of music. All day!

I don't know anything about Thelonious Sphere Monk. But I downloaded the MP3 stream so I can listen to the music tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.
