Thanks everyone.
Yeah, Jill, Monk, Monk's Music.
When I did the word/line acrostics for Recording Dates (which Andrew has, & Mark too I think?), I did the same thing but with first words of every line.
On one of the tunes on this record, Monk, demanding that Coltrane solo now, called out 'Coltrane, Coltrane,' a magic moment...
Jazz & poetry, eh?
