| | Mickey Clark Winding Highways CD Mickey Clark Discography of CDs
A Louisville, Kentucky native who's been equally at home in the vibrant music scenes of Nashville, Chicago and New York over several hardworking decades, the singer-songwriter Mickey Clark has written songs for the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, The Oak Ridge Boys, and many others during years of working at Nashville hit factories like Glaser Brothers and Combine Music. Finally, after decades of the kind of dues-paying that grinds many a performer into the dust, Clark is finally getting a chance to present his own songs in his own way. A popular folk festival performer whose talents have been acclaimed by Bob Dylan and Leo Kottke, Clark enlisted the willing help of his pals Robin and Linda Williams, John Prine, Sam Bush, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kinky Friedman, Tim Krekel, Turley Richards and others for his new ear X-tacy label recording, Winding Highways. Acclaimed producer Jim Rooney was impressed enough with the songs and the heartfelt authenticity of Clark's delivery to take on the project, a 14-song collection of primarily original songs with a few select covers of country-folk craftsmen like Utah Phillips and Michael Burton. Standout tracks include 'Don't Piss On My Boots,' Where the Green River Flows,' 'Wendigo,' and 'Louise.'

The innovations of pianist/composer Thelonious Monk are often lumped together with those of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, as if his work was some kind of aesthetic footnote to their bebop revolution. In fact, this great composer established a parallel stream of modern jazz that is a universe unto itself. The music on these first Blue Note sessions is so brimming with joy and cosmic architecture, it's difficult to believe people once viewed Thelonious Sphere Monk's work as hopelesssly oblique.
Born in Rocky Mount, NC on October 10, 1917, Monk was brought up in the San Juan Hill section of Manhattan. He began playing piano at eleven, and soon went on the road with a touring revivalist. Some writers have speculated that his acerbic voicings and angular melodic lines were influenced in part by traditional blues and church music (not to mention the rickety old upright pianos he encountered along the way). However, by the time his work was first documented with electric guitarist Charlie Christian, Monk was clearly emerging from the stride tradition of pianists such as James P. Johnson.
By the time tenor saxophone patriarch Coleman Hawkins featured him on a 1944 recording date, Monk's mature style was emerging. In part, that style was a reaction to the emerging harmonic complexities and melodic intricacies of bebop, many of which Monk mid-wifed as a collaborator and teacher to the likes of Gillespie, Bud Powell and Miles Davis. Monk pared down his considerable technique and developed a singular style of improvisation and composition, derived from the example of Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
The three Alfred Lion-produced 1947 sessions which comprise GENIUS OF MODERN MUSIC, VOLUME 1 make provocative use of space and rhythmic displacements. The music discourages ...
