[Tangled up in Blue]

Thelonious Monk. Seriously getting into this jazz malarky.

Monk's great.Pretty heavy though.There was a great documentary film on him a few years back.
"Straight no chaser",IIRC.

Just a track of my Jazz 100 CD compilation, so maybe not such as standard track perhaps?

This is about as good as Monk gets IMO apart from some early Bebop stuff and the Blue Note recordings in the 50's.

Round Midnight.

I can't get Youtube at work, so I'll check it out later.

That's a jazz standard dating from 1944.Dexter Gordon did a superb interpretation of it in Francois Truffaut's Round Midnight film.Well worth seeing.
Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis have also recorded outstanding versions.
If you like RM then you should check out Monk's Blue Note sides and Straight no chaser.

Just dug out 3 Monk cd's from my collection.The one I'd recommend most(as a starter) is The Blue Note Years-The Best of Thelonious Monk(on Blue Note),which contains 16 tracks including Round Midnight,Straight No Chaser and Well You Needn't.
Also good are Monk Straight,No Chaser(CBS/Sony) and finally thelonious monk quartet with john coltrane at carnegie hall,a 57' live set,also on Blue Note Records,which is great if you like Trane.

Thelonious Monk's best album is Monk's Dream - absolutely wonderful

I love Marcia Ball's version of this Randy Newman classic.RN himself played it at his gig a few years back at the Teatro Zorilla in Badalona.Hopefully MB will do the same.

His first record on Columbia in the 60's.Very commercial IMO.But I agree it's more accesible that some of the other cd's I mentioned.However for a compilation of his classic tracks you'd have to go some way to beat The Blue Note Years.

Marcia Ball:La Ti Da.
This is an original compostion but its lyrics and her playing owe a lot to the late great Professor Longhair IMO.As many people have pointed out she also plays the piano a lot like Jerry Lee Lewis.

Urban Hymns - The Verve.

No doubt this has been posted before, but if you haven't seen Newton Faulkner's cover of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' performed without backing in an elevator in Holland - you're in for a treat.

If you only see one Massive Attack, acoustic, Dutch elevator cover this year - make it this one.

Morphine. Who says a bass needs 4 strings?

The album 'Cure for pain' is superb.

Small Town Doggers > http://soundcloud.com/todd-barden/sets/small-town-doggers-live-on ... 'Bone Valley Tranny' is a particular favourite, a song that STD's have written to address gender bender issues.
