nice work if you can get it
i>for ken Kelley
so begins the second
of monk's three sessions
in october & november 1947,
a sly nod
toward his unemployed friends
& a small
tip of the monkian hat
to mr. alfred lion
of blue note records,
busy stockpiling masters
against the recording ban
of 1948, & possessed
of enough good taste
& intelligence
to bring in monk,
gene ramey & art blakey
to cut these musical gems
& leave them to shine
for our enrichment
& delight
as long as there are records
detroit
march 16, 1985
