HONEY 038LP
|
2023 repress. Volume 1 of two volumes split on two LPs (alongside HONEY 039LP), this is Thelonious Monk's complete concert at the Montreal Jazz Festival in August 1965. At the head of his last great quartet featuring Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Larry Gales on bass and Ben Riley on drums, Thelonious "Sphere" Monk was in top form delivering a strong set of angular tunes including originals such as "Straight No Chaser", "Evidence", "Epistrophy", "Blue Monk" and a rare interpretation of a classic standard like "April in Paris".

NAKED 009LP
|
The legendary Thelonious Monk Quartet's appearance at the world-famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in May 1961. The high priest of bop, one of the most important, if enigmatic figures in modern jazz together with three of his main disciples, tenor sax specialist Charlie Rouse and the ultra-dynamic rhythm section of double bassist John Ore and drummer Frankie Dunlop, in a wonderful performance based on super tight renditions of classic tunes such as "Jackie-ing", "Straight No Chaser", "Crepuscule With Nellie", and "Rhythm-a-Ning". Surely, both the band and the packed house had a ball that night!
