I’ve just read the New York Times article on Monk. The article refers to the sessions at the loft which were recorded on tapes by the great photographer Eugene Smith and also refers to David X. Young (wonder what the X stood for?). You can see many of the photos taken at that time at the loft here: davidxyoung and several of these feature, amongst others, Warne Marsh (see pic. numbers 1, 7 and 11). As it happens, I’m lucky enough to have a recording from this very session amongst my Warne Marsh archive. Just thought you might be interested.

The Things They Say!
This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)

Whilst BSH attempts to cover as many gigs, festivals and albums as possible, to make the site even more comprehensive we need more 'boots on the ground' to cover the albums seeking review - a large percentage of which never get heard - report on gigs or just to air your views on anything jazz related. Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog.
Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

Thanks for that, Jack, the photos are so real (and surreal) you can almost hear the music - even without your recording!
As Ellington once titled a piece - "Blues to Be There".
