The High Priest Of Bop On Vinyl LP!
The legendary Monk's quartet appearance at the world-famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in May 1961. The high priest of Bop, one of the most important, if enigmatic, figures in modern Jazz together with three of his main disciples, tenor sax specialist Charlie Rouse and the ultra dynamic rhythm section of John Ore - double bass and Frankie Dunlop - drums, in a wonderful performance based on super tight renditions of classic tunes such as "Jackie-ing", "Straight No Chaser", "Crepuscule With Nellie" and "Rhythm-a-Ning". Surely, both the band and a packed house had a ball that night!!!
