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.
Terrific 1963 date with Charlie Rouse, John Ore and Frankie Dunlop.
Originals and standards; nothing Monk hadn’t recorded before. Bubbling, chewy versions of Hackensack and Rhythm-A-Ning; a fabulous, seven-minute, solo Don’t Blame Me.
As Baroness Nica notes poshly on the sleeve, ‘this is the happiest of albums, leaving one with an extraordinary feeling of elation.’
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.
Crucial music from three different 1957 sessions, originally released in 1961, after the opining emergence of Coltrane. Different lineups introduce Art Blakey, Wilbur Ware, Coleman Hawkins, Gigi Grace, Ray Copeland…
Newly all-analogue-mastered from the original tapes and presented in a tip-on sleeve with obi.
Judging by the first few chapters, this is a tremendous biography, completely sussed — profound empathy, political nous, and a love of the music in door-stopping measure. Looking forward to it a lot.
