The time machine took us back to the month of February. Tuned to a different year, we could go back to visit one of the great jazz-people before he slipped out of this world. Not Sun-Ra this time, but, along with Art Tatum, one of the greatest pianists of the past century: Thelonious Monk. "Blue Sphere", give it a spin. If you're feeling slightly more off-kilter today, try "Nutty". Embrace the strangeness of being alive, being human and feeling alone. Put on a hat with an absurdly stingy brim, wacky sunglasses and stroll the avenue. When the martians do finally arrive, they'll know who to talk to.
