Title: A Must Own
Product review: What's to say? Every cut is perfect. It's Monk in a big band setting. (Arrangements are by Hall Overton).My favorite cut is sort of a bebop version of "Johnny One Note" called "Thelonious." If you're new to bebop, listen to this tune - the melody centers close to a one-note drone, which sets off the bebop chordal counterpoint in a way that's both gripping and easy to understand.Monk's solos are all superb. And there are two booting alto solos by Phil Woods (in my opinion all time classic jazz solos)- one on Little Rootie Tootie and the other I think on Friday the 13th.This album goes in and out of print quite often, so buy it while you still have the chance.
