On this edition I explore the music of Thelonious Monk and its indluence on 21st Century Jazz as an inspiration for new ideas and directions with contributions by Steve Lacy, Sphere, Carmen McRae, EST, John Beasley's Monk-estra, Francesco Bearzatti, Elliott Sharp and of course the man himself.
TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE is live on air on CRC102.9fm and on www.crcfm.ie every Thursday 8-9 pm with a repeat on Saturday 9-10 pm. And there is a podcast of the show available on the web site all through the week. The show has established itself over the years with a small but devoted listenership (even beyond Jazz-fans) and since the introduction on internet the listenership extended nationally and internationally.
