International Jazz Day #1 -- April 30, 2012

Today is the first International Jazz Day.  I hope this will become an annual event.

Here is Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917-1982), great American composer and piano player, posing on Powell/Hyde cable car 526 (now 26) on the cover of his album Thelonious Monk Alone in San Francisco. He liked San Francisco. The image is from the wonderful site LucyWho (http://www.lucywho.com/).

This is the 1300th post in this blog.
