February birthdays on Gift & Messages with the Hall Overton centennial. We feature his arrangement of "Little Rootie Tootie" for the Thelonious Monk Orchestra, where Hall takes the piano solo from the Monk's first trio recording and orchestrates it for the entire big band! You'll hear both back-to-back. Stunning, for the arrangement and the playing, is an understatement. But there's more (of course). Birthday salutes for organist Charles Kynard; singer/pianist Dena DeRose; trumpeter Jason Palmer; vibraphonist Behn Gillece; guitarist Pierre Dorge; saxophonists Kamasi Washington, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Joshua Redman, David Murray and Richie Cole; flautist Nicole Mitchell; pianists Ethan Iverson and James P. Johnson; and bandleader/drummer Chick Webb. Enjoy the show!
