I listen to Pandora Radio at work and it actually played Pettiford's "Stardust" solo. Wow. Maybe one of the most beautiful pieces of music recorded. I have him with Monk on "Brilliant Corners", where do I go from here?

-Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington
-O.P. at The Montmartre
-O.P. Deep Passion (a big band date)
-O.P. My Little Cello
-the one with Mingus on Bass and O.P. on cello, forget the name
-Lucky Thompson Tricrotism |

Tri´cro`tism
n. 1. (Physiol.) That condition of the arterial pulse in which there is a triple beat. The pulse curve obtained in the sphygmographic tracing characteristic of tricrotism shows two secondary crests in addition to the primary.
Which is weirdly appropriate in a way!! 
But I always thought it was Tricotism - which is like the French for Knitting!!

It's got a great lineup including Donald Byrd, Gigi Gryce and Bob Brookmeyer. As well as Stardust, it's got what I would call a definitive version of Bohemia After Dark. Just an all around great record. Man...why am I not listening to it right now? I need to fix that... |

So - having a pulse with a triple beat - almost defines swing in Jazz - whereas knitting sweaters, has never really been cool!!
But :
