This special occasion celebrates the 10th anniversary
of The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. An allstar
cast presents this gala evening of Jazz. In attendance
are Vice President Al Gore and Mrs. Gore.

This is not the complete broadcast. Due to cable
interferrence The Natalie Cole portion has been omitted.
I am not sure if I excluded any other performances.
Still, this is a very enjoyable video.
