Craig’s Final Show: Monk on Riverside
Tune in to hear Craig’s final episode of Jazz Corner of the World and join KCCK in thanking Craig for all the great jazz he’s brought to his loyal listeners. Craig says goodbye with a listen to Thelonious Monk on Riverside Records from 1955 to 1963. We’ll hear classic Monk material after his work for Blue Note and Prestige, that precedes his famous recordings made for Columbia. The Riverside Monk sessions are absolutely indispensable!
