Thelonious Monk: Live In Montreal 1 (Vinyl LP) [ vinyl ]

Vinyl LP pressing. Split on two LPs, this is Monk's complete concert at the Montreal Jazz Festival in August 1965. At the head of his last great quartet featuring Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Larry Gales on bass and Ben Riley on drums, Thelonious Sphere Monk was in top form delivering a strong set of angular tunes including originals such as Straight No Chaser, Evidence, Epistrophy, Blue Monk and a rare interpretation of a classic standard like April in Paris.
