This fades into the end of "Ugly Beauty," from the CD "Monk's Bones" that Roswell Rud and I recorded with Monk's Music Trio. I tell my Purple Grotto story, and introduce "Aria" from a sublime recording for soprano & 12 cellos. You'll hear just a bit of the end of "Aria," and then the interview continues. I reveal the book I've brought on the Desert Island, and introduce a recording by Ella Fitzgerald and Barney Kesssel.
