Still at 25% with no new donations in the past few hours. I'm grateful for the donations so far, but we need to raise about $4,000.00 more over the next week, and we can do it. Thank you so much for your support so far these past two days - it has been appreciated more than you can imagine. I know times are tough, and making any kind of contribution to a website makes you think twice before handing over the check or credit card. But whatever you can do in order to keep Newstalgia from extinction and the archive from destruction, will be more than appreciated. You can do it and we can make this happen.

A live concert originally broadcast by The Voice Of America overseas (which we never got to hear over here in the U.S.) of the 1966 Newport Jazz Festival. This set features the immortal Thelonious Monk Quartet in a short, but legendary concert performance.
