I Plan to Stay a Believer . . . In Monk!


Show description for Sunday 10/10/2010 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

This afternoon on New Day Jazz we are honored to welcome back to the program bassist and composer William Parker, in the 4 o'clock hour, to discuss his most recent release, I Plan to Stay a Believer: The Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield. Later in the program we are joined once again by one of the towering figures in the history of African-American music and culture, saxophonist and composer, the great Roscoe Mitchell (pictured above).
As part of our celebrations of Thelonious Monk's birthday, we will listen in on some of his earliest trio recordings on Prestige, as well as first sessions with Sonny Rollins.
