[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Thelonious Monk, 'Round Midnight and the Atomic Age

[Marek Boym]

I am watching the film again, and see that it must be the old band!
Recorded in 1976 or 1977 (can't recall which).  Perhaps making breaks for
writing is not good for memory, after all.
Anyway, highly recommended

A wonderful band!
I have one old LP, and love it (except for the recorder).
I saw the band in Nice in mid-70's, and loved it!  And found that, despite
rather tight arrangements, they were improvising!  I taped most of the
shows, but decided not to tape "I Hope GAbriel Likes My Music" again, since
it wassuch a standard.  I'm sorry to this day - the second version (the
same day) was very different from what I had recorded some two hours
earlier!

The link seems to give a new version of the band which, I understand, has
been reactivated,
Cheers
