Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for January 26, 2019

Very much a variety show today, a bit thrown together. At fisrt it may seem like I just broke the glass and pulled out Thelnious Monk and Bill Frisell in the first set, and there's a couple of long selections in the second hour. In the first hour we also have a set in tribute to the great pianist and film composer Michel Legrand. I had a hard time sleeping last night, and heard of his death from the radio in one of my waking moments. At 4AM, I actually contemplated just getting up and ripping my super-scratchy LP of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg onto my computer. I held off until about eight, and discovered I actually own one of Legrand's piano trio albums from the sixties (which was in slightly more presentable condition), so we'll hear a track from that instead.
