One of the best Monk albums!

Which is better, him with Griffen at the 5 Note, or the concert with Coltrane at the 5 Note,?

Rollins with Clifford Brown is also "da bomb."  Pent-up House.

Gotta go with Griffin, who I think is Monk's best sax pairing. His style sounds so different when playing with Monk than in other contexts.

For those in a Monk mood, contemporary and equally talented Ahmad Jamal hits the spot in a truly inspired trio setting:

What touch and what timing Jamal has! And his mastery of silences has few equals.

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Evans
Sam Jones: Bass
Philly Joe Jones: Drums

An underrated recording I think. Obviously pre-LaFaro and Motian, but still definitive Evans. My favorite recording by Bill is still Moon Beams. It took Bill a year to recover from the loss of LaFaro, but this return marked one of the greatest returns I think to jazz piano. Even if Bill hadn't returned let's say hypothetically, he still left behind a great body of work that I think would continue to influence people.

As good as that material is. Jamal really spoke to me when I heard his earlier recordings with the guitar trio. The Chamber Music of the New Jazz is stunning.

Yes, I have Chamber Music, too. No doubt, good stuff.

Thanks.  From '62



The first album to feature just these four:

Coltrane
Tyner
garrison
Jones

Great album!


Out of this world and Tunji are standout cuts on this one, IMO.

Great recordings. I wonder if these are some of the earliest recordings of Monk? I believe some of the recordings were made in the late 40s.

They're his first recordings as a leader, dating from 1947. However, recordings of him as a sideman go back to 1941. Most (maybe all) of those are live dates that happened to be recorded.

Ah interesting, thanks for the information. Monk is one my favorites. I own every one of his recordings. Do you have any favorite albums?

Not really. We has so consistently good. The ones with Johnny Griffin stand out a bit though.

Spun this one a few times this morning, Leon.  Reminded me of his Ballads album.
