Cool ... I thought the drun solo got a little amorphous at times, but really liked the bass solo ... who was playing it?

Here's a YouTube video of Don Cherry playing Monk's "52nd St. Theme" with Sonny Rollins in 1963:

It's not my favorite context in which to hear him, by any means, but in his solo, he plays with good time and tells a good story. His technique is sloppy, no question --nobody's going to mistake him for Clifford Brown, but see, he's not trying to be Clifford Brown. And it's fascinating to hear his influence on Sonny, who at this point had been playing this tune, like, forever -- probably ever since Monk first brought it in! But Don made him approach it differently.

Of all hoaxes, the one which is my most vexing bĂȘte noire on a quotidian basis, is the cereal box top which informs simply, "Lift Tab to Open." Then, "To Close, Insert Tab Here ." Yeah, right! In attempting to accomplish the first direction, not only the tab but also the slit intended to accept the aforementioned protuberance have both been irreparably disfigured and rendered dysfunctional. This debacle is then amplified by the misbehavior of the recalcitrant inner bag, which can not be unsealed sans mangling it, and hence, will not disperse its contents without exiting the box itself. All I wanted was a bowl of cereal.
