'Why Shouldn't I?' Written by Cole Porter, sung by Chris Connor—two of the many LGBTQ+ trailblazers who enriched the world of jazz. You don’t hear this one enough

Happy birthday Mr. Porter, Happy Pride Month one & all

Monk & co in bristling form here. Glorious song, one of Gershwin's own favourites from his tunes. The verse is especially beautiful, well worth checking out, Bing Crosby's almost aria-like version includes it

Next single Moose The Mooche out soon, with original lyrics

This is my fave pic of Bird, with the Buddha-like eyes that Kerouac described, "The expression that says, All is well. This was what Charlie Parker said when he played, All is well"
