THE GREAT,THELONIOUS MONK. THE MOST UNIQUE AND ONE OF THE  MOST INFLUENTIAL PIANIST OF ALL TIME.IN MY OPINION THE MOST PROGRESSIVE AND UNIQUE AND DIFFICULT TO PLAY OF ALL JAZZ MUSICIANS.MONK IS ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF MODERN MUSIC-BE-BOP.HIS STYLE OF PLAYING AND COMPOSITIONS WERE AND STILL ARE SOME OF THE FINEST EVER WRITTEN. MONK ALONG WITH: CHARLIE PARKER. DIZZY GILLESPIE. BUD POWELL,KENNY CLARKE,MAX ROACH,OSCAR PETTIFORD,MILES DAVIS HELPED TO CHANGE JAZZ MUSIC FOREVER.FATHER'S OF MODERN MUSIC-BEBOP. MONK THE BEST!
* THIS RECORD IS A CLASSIC.THE MEETING OF MONK AND GERRY MULLIGAN IS LIKE MADE IN HEAVEN.TWO OF THE GREATEST JAZZ FIGURES OF ALL TIME. MULLIGAN WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST BARITONE,COMPOSERS, ARRANGERS OF ALL TIME. MULLIGAN SKILLS AS A COMPOSER & MASTER ARRANGER ARE ASTONISHING AS WELL.HE HELPED MILES DAVIS TO FOUND THE BIRTH OF COOL IN THE LATE 4O'S.ALSO PIONEERED THE QUARTET AND QUINTET PIANOLESS IN THE EARLY 50'S.TWO GENIUS AT WORK.AN OUTSTANDING RECORD.
* LP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ON BOTH SIDE.LOOKS SELDOM PLAYED.SURFACE IS SUPER CLEAN.NO SPINDLES MARKS.WHICH IS THE MAIN SIGN THAT LP HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONLY FEW TIMES.LP HAVE BEEN SAVED AND WELL TAKING CARE OF. MOST SELLERS WILL GRADE THIS LP AS: MINT-,NEAR-MINT OR LIKE NEW. BUT I DON'T USE THOSE GRADE,EVEN IF THE LP LOOKS AS NEW OR CLEAN AS THIS ONE I'M SELLING. I GRADED LP AS EXCELLENT. SUPER CONSERVATIVE. LP HAVE FEW HAIRLINES OR LIGHT MARKS SLEEVE MARKS ON BOTH SIDE.THAT DOESN'T AFFECT PLAYABILITY.FROM REMOVING LP IN & OUT FROM THE SLEEVE OR JACKET.I PLAY-GRADED ALL MY LP'S. THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS LP IS OUTSTANDING.REMARKABLE PLAYBACK.JUST A BIT OF LOW NOUSE AT BEGINNING TRACK 1 SUDE 1.WHICH IS TYPICAL IN VINTAGE RECORDS.LOW MINIMUM, LOW NOISE IN LOW AND SLOW PASSAGES.FUTURE SELLER WILL BE SUPER HAPPY WITH THE OUTSTANDING CONDITION AND SUPERB SOUND.
