...called Banca Popolare di Lodi. During the afternoon break, the two men decided to stroll together through the center of town in front of a cadre of journalists. It was a blatant signal to all that Fazio had anointed Fiorani to be the next banker on the fast-growth track. Perhaps more than the now infamous phone call, the public display in Lodi is evidence of how Fazio has viewed the job he has now held for 12 years. "He says, 'It is I, not the markets, who knows what's best,'" says a Bank of Italy official...

The only discernible part of the melody is one five-note phrase that gives the piece its own personal flavor. The piece is kept together, not by the excellent rhythm section of Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass and Shadow Wilson on drums, but the interplay between Monk and Coltrane, particularly during the first solo section...
