Short intro

Recorded live in Tokyo, this LP captures the quartet on their first Asian tour, performing mostly Thelonious Monk's own tunes, such as Straight, No Chaser, Blue Monk, and Bemsha Swing. The Japanese audience reacts enthusiastically, with the quartet responding in kind with a generally inspired performance. There are few, if any, surprises - just solid playing and delightfully swinging, and at times hard-hitting, group and individual performances. Thelonious is a 10 LP by American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, performed by the Thelonious Monk Trio. It was originally released in 1953 as the first of five 10 LP studio albums by Monk for Prestige PrLP 142, and was later expanded into the 12-inch album Thelonious Monk Trio with the addition of two non-chronological later tracks.

Thelonious Monk. 1963 was in fact the first year Monk toured Japan, which of course has become a veritable motherlode of Monk devotees ever since. For whatever reason, Monk's music is extremely appealing to Japanese sensibilities maybe they GET it a little more than the rest of us. Or maybe Monk was Japanese in a former lifetime. Thelonious-san In any event, this is fine live Monk that is on par with the fantastic Live at the It Club. Title: Monk in Tokyo. Label: Speakers Corner. What makes a great jazz musician. The Monk quartet were underway on their first Asian tour when this LP, recorded on 21 May 1963 in Sankei Hall, was recorded and were doing so while playing Monks own compositions well, mostly so youll see titles such as Straight, No Chaser, Blue Monk and Bemsha Swing on this release. As for the quartets own performance Theyre on fine form and seem to enjoy the occasion. This double album has been well mastered which, in itself, has been aided by the fact that the album was recorded well in the first place. Mønk by Thelonious Monk, released 28 September 2018 1.

This is a previously unreleased, precious lost treasure from Monks most critically acclaimed line-up Charlie Rouse on saxophone, John Ore on double bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums. Line-up Thelonious Monk - piano Charlie Rouse - tenor saxophone John Ore - double bass Frankie Dunlop - drums. Monks quartet with Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone was formed in 1959 and endured until 1970. It was recorded more than any other group lead by Monk, and Rouse has been unfairly condemned since the beginning for the crime of not being John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, or Johnny Griffin all heard in earlier Monk lineups. Still, with dozens of live recordings by the quartet to choose from, why should listeners choose Monk in Tokyo Rouse is in average form, but bassist Butch Warren and drummer Ben Riley swing like mad, the sound is excellent, and Monk himself sounds inspired-we hold him in such high regard as a composer we can forget what a great soloist he was.
