Download The Lone Piper
 Artist: The Lone Piper: mp3 download Genre(s): New Age Discography:  Scottish Moods Year: 1998 Tracks: 17 The close significant jazz musicians ar the ones world Health Organization ar successful in creating their have original world of medicine with its have rules, system of rules of logic, and surprises. Thelonious Monk, world Health Organization was criticized by observers public Health Organization failed to listen to his music on its possess damage, suffered through a decennary of disregard ahead he was abruptly acclaimed as a brainpower; his medicament had non changed one bit in the lag. In fact, one of the more than remarkable aspects of Monk's euphony was that it was fully formed by 1947 and he saw no need to alter his playing or compositional style in the slightest during the future 25 years. Thelonious Monk grew up in New York, started playing pianissimo when he was around v, and had his first business touring as an accompanyist to an evangelist. He was inspired by the Harlem tread pianists (James P. Johnson was a neighbour) and vestiges of that idiomatic expression tin can be heard in his by and by unaccompanied solos. However, when he was playing in the house band of Minton's Playhouse during 1940-1943, Monk was searching for his have single style. Private recordings from the period get him sometimes resembling Teddy Wilson just starting to usance more innovative rhythms and harmonies. He worked with Lucky Millinder a bit in 1942 and was with the Cootie Williams Orchestra briefly in 1944 (Tennessee Williams recorded Monk's "Epistrophy" in 1942 and in 1944 was the number one to track record "'Round Midnight"), just it was when he became Coleman Hawkins' regular piano player that Monk was ab initio noticed. He cut a few titles with Hawkins (his recording debut) and, although some of Hawkins' fans complained around the eccentric piano player, the veteran tenor could sensation the pianist's illustriousness. The 1945-1954 period was selfsame difficult for Thelonious Monk. Because he left a lot of place in his rhythmical solos and had an strange technique, many the great unwashed thought that he was an inferior pianist. His compositions were so sophisticated that the lazier bebop players (although non Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker) sham that he was wild. And Thelonious Monk's name, show (he liked funny hats), and personality (an now and again incommunicative introvert) helped to make him as some kind of nut case. Fortunately, Alfred Lion of Blue Note believed in him and recorded Monk extensively during 1947-1948 and 1951-1952. He also recorded for Prestige during 1952-1954, had a solo coiffure for Vogue in 1954 during a bring down to Paris, and appeared on a Verve date with Bird and Diz. But work was selfsame sporadic during this era and Monk had to struggle to score ends take on. His fortunes lento began to better. In 1955, he signed with Riverside and producer Orrin Keepnews persuaded him to book an album of Duke Ellington tunes and one of standards so his medicine would seem to be more accessible to the mediocre jazz fan. In 1956 came the classical Brilliant Corners record album, simply it was the following class when the situation permanently changed. Monk was set-aside into the Five Spot for a recollective booking and he used a quartet that featured tenor saxist John Coltrane. Finally, the critics and so the jazz world recognized Thelonious Monk's illustriousness during this important gig. The fact that he was unique was a disadvantage a few years earlier when all modernistic jazz pianists were expected to sound like Bud Powell (wHO was ironically a shut friend), merely by 1957 the jazz world was looking for for a unexampled approaching. Suddenly, Monk was a famous person and his status would non variety for the remainder of his calling. In 1958, his foursome featured the tenor of Johnny Griffin (wHO was even more than compatible than Coltrane), in 1959 he appeared with an orchestra at Town Hall (with arrangements by Hall Overton), in 1962 he signed with Columbia and 2 years later on was on the cover of Time. A second orchestra concert in 1963 was even better than the kickoff and Monk toured always throughout the 1960s with his quartet which featured the authentic tenor voice of Charlie Rouse. He played with the Giants of Jazz during 1971-1972, simply and then in 1973 dead retired. Monk was suffering from mental sickness and, other than a few limited appearances during the mid-'70s, he lived the rest of his life-time in seclusion. After his death it seemed as if everyone was doing Thelonious Monk tributes. There were so many versions of "'Round Midnight" that it was practically a pop hit! But despite the posthumous hail and attempts by pianists ranging from Marcus Roberts to Tommy Flanagan to recreate his style, in that respect was no replacement for the original. Some of Thelonious Monk's songs became standards early on, to the highest degree notably "'Round Midnight," "True No Chaser," "52nd Street Theme," and "Blasphemous Monk." Many of his other compositions have by now been figured out by other jazz musicians and are at times performed including "Ruby My Dear," "Well You Needn't," "Off Minor," "In Walked Bud," "Misterioso," "Epistrophy," "I Mean You," "Four-spot in One," "Criss Cross," "Ask Me Now," "Piffling Rootie Tootie," "Monk's Dream," "Bemsha Swing," "Consider of One," "Friday the 13th," "Hackensack," "Nutlike," "Bright Corners," "Gloam With Nellie" (written for his solid and supportive married woman), "Evidence," and "Rhythm-a-Ning," Virtually all of Monk's recordings (for Blue Note, Prestige, Vogue, Riverside, Columbia, and Black Lion) own been reissued and among his sidemen through the age were Idrees Sulieman, Art Blakey, Milt Jackson, Lou Donaldson, Lucky Thompson, Max Roach, Julius Watkins, Sonny Rollins, Clark Terry, Gerry Mulligan, John Coltrane, Wilbur Ware, Shadow Wilson, Johnny Griffin, Donald Byrd, Phil Woods, Thad Jones, and Charlie Rouse. His son Thelonious Monk, Jr. (T.S. Monk) has helped keep the strong boP tradition alive with his quintet and has headed the Thelonious Monk Institute, whose annual competitions succeed in publicizing gifted danton True Young players. |

'Lost' season finale was last week's most-watched television show
The season finale of "Lost" can be found at the top of last week's ratings roster.
It was an uncommonly strong performance for the ABC mystery serial, which is ranked 19th for the season in viewers. On the other hand, "Lost" had puny opposition as most scripted series moved into postseason rerun mode and viewing overall dropped significantly from the week before.
"Lost" had 12.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Happily for CBS, the premiere of "Million Dollar Password" drew 10.62 million viewers.
The Regis Philbin-hosted game show ranked third for the week.
Back for its new season, Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" premiered Wednesday in 10th place, with the second edition (airing Thursday) ranked 8th.
For the week, CBS was the top network in prime time, averaging 7.33 million viewers (4.9 rating, nine share). Runner-up Fox had 6.07 million viewers (3.8 rating, seven share), while ABC had 5.52 million (3.6 rating, six share) and NBC had 5.29 million (3.4 rating, six share).
A ratings point represents 1,128,000 households, or one per cent of the country's estimated 112.8 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of May 26-June 1, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "Lost," ABC, 12.30 million; "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 10.81 million; "Million Dollar Password," CBS, 10.62 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 10.29 million; "NCIS," CBS, 9.77 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 9.73 million; "CSI: NY," CBS, 9.56 million; "So You Think You Can Dance" (Thursday), Fox, 9.56 million; "Hell's Kitchen," Fox, 9.50 million; "So You Think You Can Dance" (Wednesday), Fox, 9.36 million.

Hill, Yoakam return to CMA Festival after absence
NASHVILLE --
There's a good reason why Dwight Yoakam hasn't performed at the Country Music Association's annual festival in 20 years.
No one's asked him, not in recent memory anyway.
That changed when Tammy Genovese, the CMA's chief executive officer, met up with the singer while he was in town last fall.
"We talked about business and life and I said 'I'd love to have you back for the festival,'" Genovese recalled.
Sunday night, Yoakam will close the four-day event with a performance in the city's NFL stadium. The festival gives fans a chance to see big shows and mingle with stars and is Nashville's biggest country music event, with attendance topping 190,000 last year.
He's not the only one returning after a long absence. Faith Hill's performance Friday will be her first in 10 years.
Hill blames her hectic schedule. "For the past 10 years I have just been out of town touring and committed to other areas of my career that have taken me out of Nashville," she said.
But at times, both Hill and Yoakam have been regarded by some as Nashville outsiders -- Yoakam as a Southern California artist who went Hollywood and Hill as a crossover star who veered too far into pop.
Genovese doesn't think that has anything to do with them being away all these years, but she does acknowledge that their return makes a statement to the Nashville industry.
"To our community it says a lot. To the music community it says a lot. They're spending their time and energy and their own dollars to be part of this," she said.
No festival, no matter how big or important, can book every headlining act every year, but over a five-year stretch, most country artists have played the CMA's bash at least once. Formerly known as "Fan Fair," the whole focus since it started in 1972 has been the personal connection between fan and artist, a bond the CMA says is specific to country music.
"The only person we really haven't been able to wrangle in is George Strait, but we're working on it," Genovese said. "Last year Reba (McEntire) was back after many, many years out. It's fun to have these guys back."
Most of the time if there's a hang-up, it's with scheduling. Artists tour in the summer and work on films and other projects. It's a busy time.
But it's also true that the CMA doesn't pay them for their participation. The organization donates half the net proceeds from the event to charity on behalf of the artists.
In February, Kix Brooks, half of the hit duo Brooks & Dunn and a member of the CMA board, caused a stir when he suggested that the city and the CMA need to find a way to pay top-level artists or they may go away.
For Yoakam, 51, a combination of things kept him away, not the least of which was the lack of an invitation.
"I was really thrilled when they asked," he said. "In the final portion of the equation, that's a large part of my being involved."
Except for Merle Haggard, no active country singer is so closely identified with the West Coast. Yoakam broke out of the Los Angeles rock clubs playing revved up Bakersfield, Calif., honky-tonk. He's lived in L.A. since the '70s where he's done most all of his recording and enjoyed a successful acting career.
"Throughout my entire career I'd be in Nashville sometimes once a year. Twice a year maybe was frequent," said Yoakam, who spoke from the set of the film "Crank 2: High Voltage," in which he'll appear next year.
There's also the expense of moving a band and crew across country. "That's the bane of living on the West Coast," Yoakam said.
Besides his CMA concert, he'll also perform on the Grand Ole Opry Saturday -- his first appearance on the historic program since the early '90s.
With both shows, Yoakam said he wants to reach fans he doesn't get to play for as much as he'd like, and also thank an industry that's helped him sell millions of albums. While his hit records were all recorded in Los Angeles, they were promoted from Warner Brothers' offices in Nashville.
"I think that's really an overlooked aspect of my career -- how willing they were to work with an artist who broke on the West Coast. They worked with me throughout all those year and over the great distance of geography between L.A. and Nashville that enabled those records to get to the public," said Yoakam, who now records for New West Records, an independent label based in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.
Likewise, Hill, 40, said it's all about the fans.
"I feel blessed to have had the success that I've had, and I want to give the fans their favorites first," she said of her CMA show. "We will get out there and rock hard with lots of energy. An evident love for music and respect for the fans will permeate from the stage of the stadium."

Comedian Chris Rock says poverty behind xenophobic attacks in South Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Comedian Chris Rock said Monday he does not consider a wave of attacks on foreigners in South Africa as black-on-black violence but a problem of poverty.
"It's broke on broke violence. It's broke people robbing each other," Rock, who opens his "No Apologies" tour in the country this week, said at a news conference. "That's the sad thing."
More than 60 people have been killed and nearly 100,000 foreigners forced from their homes in a wave of attacks by South Africans who accuse them of taking jobs and blame them for crime.
Rock, who has visited South Africa before, said he would pay a courtesy call to former president Nelson Mandela who turns 90 in July.
"I wish him another 90 years," he said. "There is a lot of work to be done still."
