THE CONICAL HAT The scene? The First Annual Boston Jazz Festival, 1959. Awaiting the next performance is the most enthusiastic crowd in the festival's short history-l know, for I attended the two nights before this. Quiet! You pop- corn-eaters can't possibly hear the announcer. There. And now the cool jazz of Mister Thelonious Monk-Thelonious . . . He's just as you might picture him. Dark complexion, conical yellow hat Qappears to be bambooj, short tan, smock, and tight trousers of the same hue, accent the musician some men have called ugly. He's sitting at the piano, the lights dim to an icy blue, and the Monk's long and ungainly shadow is cast on the white backdrop. His goatee seems enormous now. With the baggy sleeves of his smock pushed high, Thelonious' trained fingers glide swiftly over the keyboard, and the sad melodious notes of Saint James' Infirmary Bluesi' flow forth somewhat like the patter of spring rain on winter's snow. He's nodding-nodding to some of the great- est accompanists in the world. Cool notes issue from the sax, a muted blare lingers in the trombone, and now the regular thumping of the base emerges from the background along with the snaring of drums. The music is not Dixieland, nor is it Chicago or West Coast Jazz, The- lonious employs his own style apart from that of any other group of mu- sicians. He embodies the sadness of the moderns, the spirit of old New Orleans' artists, and the perfection of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in every selection. Tonight if you could have heard and seen it, you would understand. DIANE E. DUBRULE, '60 LA REPONSE VVhy is there Blue sky, Green grass, Black earth.
