'Round Midnight (1944) by Cootie Williams - First recording ever!
The very first recording of Thelonious Monk's most famous standard, performed by Cootie Williams and his orchestra on August 22, 1944. A little gem. Prima rara storica registrazione dello standard jazz scritto da un musicista jazz più registrato in assoluto. Chi era il musicista jazz? Thelonious Sphere Monk, The High Priest of Bop. Attenzione prego: YouTube continua a cancellare a caso, senza motivo e senza notificarlo i commenti ai video. L'ho notato sia con i miei che con i vostri, alcuni anche molto interessanti e che non avevano nulla di offensivo o contro le regole della piattaforma. Temo sia un problema diffuso, secondo me molto grave, ma lo segnalo perché alcuni scambi sembrano privi di senso e io rispondo sempre a tutti. Dobbiamo confidare nel vecchio amico screenshot. Please note: YouTube keeps deleting randomly, with no reason and without notice, comments from videos. I've noticed it both with mine and yours, some of them even quite interesting and absolutely not offending anyone nor violating the platform's rules. I fear it is a widespread problem, a serious one in my opinion, still I'm reporting it because some interactions appear meaningless, while I always answer to everybody. We just have to take the screenshot way.
