I have always said long Term thinking about our goals and relationships that require hard work are worth so much more than short term thinking relying on instant gratification. Build those goals and relationships with a sense of purpose and motivation and commitment that will ultimately make a long term impact.

Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

T.H. Huxley
Nineteenth-century biologist T.H. Huxley wrote these words as a reminder that slow and steady always wins the race. Rather than relying on quick shortcuts, clever tricks, or corner-cutting, we should practice the virtues of patience and determination as we pursue our goals and dreams. Though the road may be longer, the journey will be that much sweeter when we find motivation in a sense of purpose and commitment and utilize the strength of the human will.

The T.S. Monk Sextet’s highly anticipated live album with seven songs is characterized by the steady pulse and groove that the world has come to know and love as the “T.S. Monk Sextet Sound”.

Two Continents One Groove is out now on Storyville Records.

Monk, also known as “Toot”, leads his sextet with an innovative and dynamic approach. Since 1992, the drummer has worked exclusively with his co-players, making the sound of the sextet incredibly tight. When they roll out their arsenal, they soar and swing, and are indeed exciting to hear. In that regard, it might be quite surprising to learn that this is Monk’s very first live album!

“This is my first live recording, ever! It’s daunting and an uncertain kind
of product. Most live albums aren’t that good. I’ve been lucky to always
have great people working with me.”

Cat. #: 1018530
Format: Digital & CD
Release: 17-June-2022
Storyville Records
www.storyvillerecords.com

The seven songs on the album are taken from two performances at two similar jazz rooms over a two-year period; three are from “Harlem’s Jazz Shrines Festival: Jazzmobile presents Minton’s Playhouse” at Ginny’s Supper Club on May 7, 2014, while others were recorded at Marians Jazzroom in Bern, Switzerland on April 24, 2016.

Drummer, percussionist, composer, producer and bandleader, T. S. Monk has taken his place in the pantheon of jazz royalty, to which he was born. The swing is DNA inherited and absorbed in this master drummer’s persona.

Monk’s sextet consists of some of the best jazz musicians in the business, each bringing something special to the table. Willie Williams on tenor saxophone is the original member of the sextet, who came up under the tutelage of Grover Washington, Jr. Additionally, we have the Chicago native, Kenny Davis on bass, who has worked with notables such as Cassandra Wilson and Kevin Eubanks, trumpeter Josh Evans, multi-reedist Patience Higgins, guitarist Dave Stryker and pianist and composer Helen Sung, a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow.

Two Continents One Groove is a masterpiece, so follow him to a new
promised land. As he states:

“If there’s one thing this album is, it’s swingin’! I hope you agree.”

Curtis Sliwa has been working to keep more peace in New York and other parts of the world. Due to the pandemic unusual scenarios are occurring. One of these scenarios is the homeless in New York. It was decided by New York City admiration to use hotels for the homeless throughout New York, as a temporarily measure. Dealing with Covid Pandemic is not easy and stressful. Good News as interviewed Curtis many times for over 20 years as he is a do gooder. Moving homeless into a very residential area, on the Upper Westside of New York has brought concern to the neighborhood, but with patience and love and respect we will move forward. One thing for sure is that we all need to do a better job to help homeless people live a more stable living condition.

St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. Awomen we say as well.

GoodNewsLetter BAD NEWS SELLS, BUT WE DON’T CARE, WE SHARE ONLY GOOD NEWS

The Good News Worldwide Is:

When some people create bad news, there are many more who work to fix it,

When some people break laws, many more obey them.

When some people are mean, many more love their fellow man/woman.

When some people think that are different from others (race, color & creed) there are many more who realize that we are all related Homo sapiens, with the same blood color and heart beating.

When some people disrespect the animal and plant kingdoms and nature there are many who believe we are part of them, especially since most medicine and food evolves from them.

The Good News Is: There are many more compassionate, loving, caring people on Mother Earth or good odds man/woman would not have survived for all these years.
