Thelonious Monk
Paris 1969
Blue Note B0018821-01 2 LP set w/ gatefold jacket

A lost treasure from the legendary Thelonious Monk a live date recorded in Paris at the end of the 60s late in Monk’s life, and every bit as wonderful as his famous 60s studio work with his quartet! Of that group, only Charlie Rouse remains on tenor sax but Rouse is more than enough to make things great, and the interplay between his tenor and Monk’s piano is completely sublime full of angular movements, underscored with plenty of soul and given support from Nate Hygelund on bass and either Paris Wright or Philly Joe Jones on drums. There’s a rough edge to the music that’s really great that sharper, more sinister vibe that Monk could have in a live setting.
