Disquiet 0428: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0428-urban-moss/30154

I’ve never met Marc. Almost swung by that bar in Dumbo 2 weeks ago but had another thing. But this week he took a picture of a pole and asked us to think about concerts of the past in this turbulent time. And wished us well. And I wish him well also.

Less surprisingly, I’ve also never met Thelonius Monk. In 1959, Wikipedia tells us, he recorded his third solo album “Thelonius Alone in San Francisco” at Fugazi Hall on October 21 and 22, live. 

But without an audience.

And recently I’ve been spending time with “Ruby, My Dear”, the second track from the record. It’s a fun item. This week with a friend and I just sort of ended up holding onto the chords to really let the voicings become part of my vocabulary. 

Those ideas all collided at once this afternoon. And while the resulting reflection on the first 8 bars of Monk’s piece really are pretty far away from the disquiet style and intent, I still thought I would share what I recorded anyway. So, with a hope that you and yours are safe, I hope you enjoy “A Reflection on Ruby (disquiet0428)”.
