The complete Columbia solo studio recordings, 1962-1968.
Monked standards, with Pettiford and Blakey.
Apt title — this is sparkling, angular music, with Roach and Rollins on top form throughout.
With Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), Larry Gales (bass), Ben Riley (drums). And Jon Hendricks with a great vocal version of In Walked Bud.
From 1961, featuring Charlie Rouse… though the stand-out is Just A Gigolo, by Monk solo.
Honest-to-goodness late-60s-early-70s group-harmony soul from Columbus, Ohio, with fine players like vibraphonist Billy Wooten, expert arranging by Dean Francis, and executive production by Capsoul boss Bill Moss.
