THELONIOUS MONK Big Band And Quartet In Concert 1964 UK CBS 1st PRESS MINT-
THELONIOUS MONKBig Band And Quartet In Concert
UK CBS (SBPG 62248 ) FIRST PRESSING (April 1964)
Recorded live at The Lincoln Center, Philharmonic Hall, New York, December 30th, 1963
This is one of Thelonious Monk's greatest recordings and represents a high point in his career.
Performing at Philharmonic Hall in New York, Monk is heard taking an unaccompanied solo on "Darkness on the Delta" and jamming with his quartet (which had Charlie Rouse on tenor, bassist Butch Warren, and drummer Frank Dunlop) on fine versions of "Played Twice" and a previously unreleased rendition of "Misterioso."
Monk's quartet was joined by cornetist Thad Jones, trumpeter Nick Travis, Steve Lacy on soprano, altoist Phil Woods, baritonist Gene Allen, and trombonist Eddie Bert.
Jones and Woods have plenty of solos and, although Lacy surprisingly does not have any individual spots, his soprano is a major part of some of the ensembles.
Most remarkable is "Four in One," which after one of Monk's happiest (and very rhythmic) solos features the orchestra playing a Hal Overton transcription of a complex and rather exuberant Monk solo taken from his original record
