Title: Gee Buddy lighten up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I refer to the one star reviewer who can "play circles" arround Charles Gayle.Now I have to admit I only like a bit of the Late Coltrane/Ayler outside style in general and have heard some Sax led stuff by Mr.Gayle and somethat is to out.But this is an off beat love letter to one of the forerunners of the "New Thing" (along with Mingus,Ra etc).But this idefitely listen able and different than the usual playing.I doubt it's for lack out a more fluid technique (which is kind of a oxymoron when applied to Monk but some pull it off well).But I liked this inside/outside because I have some many Monk CD's and Lp's where they are too smooth or try to capture something that cannot be captured the angular style with it's spaces that only Monk could really do.This is nice one when you want something familiar done differently.CheersChazz
