Thelonious Monk (p); Charlie Rouse (ts); Butch Warren (b); Ben Riley (dr)
With its three compositions by Thelonious Monk,
one might call this LP from 1964 '3 Standards and
3 Monks?. The 'High Priest' of bebop had reached a
further pinnacle in his career and performed with
his fantastic, skilful and well-rehearsed quartet
at numerous festivals and concerts. As if in a
dream, the musicians penetrate the apparently
simple yet rhythmically complicated themes,
interrupted again and again by Monk?s solo
escapades on the piano. On the stage, Monk often
stood up and jigged around the piano like a
lumbering dancing bear, with one of his
distinctive hats on his head; he plonks down on
the piano stool after the Charlie Rouse solo; his
enormous feet tap back and forth to the beat; he
constantly fiddles with the ring on his finger;
and he creates the most wonderful improvisations
ever heard with his 'false' fingering.
Calling all jazz fans: Listen to Thelonious Monk,
and you will have a ball ? most especially if you
put this super disc with the promising title 'It?s
Monks Time' on your turntable!
