Misterioso (Riverside) (with bonus tracks)

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 611087) Riverside, 1958 — Condition: New Copy

A key classic from Thelonious Monk's years at Riverside – and an album that's as compelling as its haunting title! The session features Thelonious working with a great quartet that includes Johnny Griffin on tenor, playing these wonderfully angular lines; Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass, working in well-rounded tones that add a lot of depth to the work; and Roy Haynes on drums, bringing in a playfully rhythmic spirit that really matches the tone of Monk's compositions – a wonderful quartet to interpret the thoughtful, angular, inventive numbers on the set – not just Monk's own tunes, but some killer arrangements of a few classics too. Tracks are all longish, and the album features key readings of "In Walked Bud", "Misterioso", "Nutty", and "Let's Cool One". CD features 3 bonus tracks – "Evidence", "Round Midnight", and "Bye Ya/Epistrophy", with Art Blakey on drums.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
