I drew this cartoon when I was still a schoolboy in the early sixties after listening to Thelonius Monk playing Blue Monk for the first time. If you have a few minutes listen to this great Jazz classic from a 1963 recording of the Thelonius Monk Quartet and available on Revolver Music’s Thelonius Monk, Volume 2.  It remains one of my favourite pieces of Jazz to this day.

Somehow I feel that today’s blue palette is a good match for the jazz. What do you think?
