Monk's Dream

Add to Cart$1.99 ... CD
(€1.47 || £1.26 || ¥187) (approx.)
CD (Item 533032) Columbia, 1963 — Condition: Used

The first Thelonious Monk album for Columbia Records – and one of the best, as well – a beautiful illustration of the way that his shift in labels really set some new fire to his music in the early 60s! The group is Monk's sharp-edged quartet with the amazing Charlie Rouse on tenor, John Ore on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums – a group that's beautifully understated, but able to do incredible things in the company of the pianist – hanging back to let Thelonious take center stage one minute, then swinging hard together the next. The set includes great renditions of Monk classics that really illustrate his new energy at Columbia – and titles include "Bolivar Blues", "Bye-Ya", and "Monk's Dream" – plus great remakes of "Body & Soul" and "Just A Gigolo". (Columbia Jazz Masterpiece pressing.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
