On the cinema

The life of Monica Zetterlund is presented on the cinema. She was a fantastic jazz singer and her music is loved by many. The other interesting thing here is the cinema "Bio Kontrast". In this case (our town) the city hall also have a concert hall, which is used for movies. When I grew up, I could see, for example, French and Russian films on Bio Kontrast, in a small cinema in the library basement in my old home town. These movies were not the mainstream movies, but a bit peculiar. Like Koyaanisqatsi and Pica Pica about magpies, not a word spoken).

Jazzy restaurant

This Asian sushi restaurant, Thelonious Monkfish, actually exist, in Cambridge, MA, USA.  I love the logo image. Do you think Thelonious Monk would have been happy or appalled?

Stamp of the Day: A jazz legend

Stamp of the day - Oscar Peterson, whose music we have been listening too all day. See PP's post below.

One of the Greats is gone

RIP Oscar

Listen to his humming/groaning sounds....my Dad did this too...when my Dad made a recording the sound enginner kept stopping the tunes and trying to find out what this "noise" was, they finally figured out it was my Dad humming along with the tune.

Making Records with Duke
