morning coffee: studs, monk and 'trane

  • Teach for America is Fifteen today. Next time they tell you that Generation X and Y are a bunch of disaffected 'my space' slackers, tell 'em they haven't been paying attention.
  • Studs Terkel is a national treasure. And, yep, at 93 he's got a new book out on music and musicians. Studs, we love ya!
  • Speaking of musicians, this NPR Story on the discovery of a new Monk / Coltrane recording sends chills and shivers of expectation to jazz lovers the world over. Monk and Coltrane's work together was something special and the glimpses we've had of what their collaboration sounded like...makes this discovery an event.

    I'm out of the office today...feel free to use this post as an open thread.

    If there's news and links you think are imporatant and want to share....go right ahead!

    {Something tells me that we'll all want to read today's version of ABC's The Note.}

    kid oakland,

    since this is an open thread, I am going to take some liberties and post this here.

    I don't know if html tags work here, but I'll try.

    I put up this diary at MLW about a documentary project that is just beginning.

    I am hopeful that you will become involved in some manner, if nothing else we would certainly appreciate an interview.

    Any level of involvement you would offer would be great.
