Monk, Thelonious: At Newport 1963 (Vinyl LP) [ vinyl ]

"The legendary Thelonious Monk's appearance at the legendary Newport festival in 1963 when the so-called ""High Priest of Bop"" brought one of his greatest quartets featuring master Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Butch Warren on bass, and Frankie Dunlop on drums. This is a great performance based on five of Monk's classic compositions: ""Criss Cross"", ""Light Blue"", ""Nutty"", ""Blue Monk"", and ""Epistrophy"". This is pure Monk's essence, don't miss it."
