  1. Jazztodon artist of the week: Sphere! A jazz super-group of #kennybarron on piano, #charlierouse on tenor, #benriley on drums, and #busterwilliams on bass, this group put out seven critically acclaimed albums between 1982 and 1997. They played tribute to #theloniusmonk on many tracks (naturally, with Charlie Rouse and Ben Riley in the band), but they quickly developed their own unique sound.

  2. Second #VinylMePlease record of the month, & I’m #NowSpinning #MonksMusic by the #TheloniusMonk Septet.

    Now this is really exceptional stuff from an incredible line up: #ArtBlakey, #ColemanHawkins & #JohnColtrane.

    & the music is white hot: Well, You Needn’t, & Off Minor being favourites. Whilst I love Monk It’s Monk’s Time - this is probably my favourite of his albums.

    & #RyanKSmith has done a bang on job with this cut - rich & dynamic.
