Toelichting:
Program note (English): This is a fantasy on a Thelonious Monk riff from the piece Trinkle Tinkle. The idea of the piece comes from a scene in the documentary Straight no chaser, where Monk is seen spinning around like a whirling dervish is an airport space. In Boston Monk once wandered around the airport until the police picked him up and took him to Grafton State Hospital for a week's observation. He was quickly released without strings, and though the experience persuaded him never to go out on the road alone again, he used to tell it as a certification of his sanity. "I can't be crazy", he used to say with conviction, "cause they had me in one of those places and they let me go." - YANNIS KYRIAKIDES
