Thelonious Monk - Live At Monterey Jazz Festival '63 Vol  2 (1963)

personnel :

Bass – John Ore
Drums – Frankie Dunlop
Piano – Thelonious Monk
Tenor Saxophone – Charlie Rouse

The second volume of Thelonious Monk's appearance at the 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival is drawn from two separate concerts on back to back days, with the pianist joined by longtime tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist John Ore and drummer Frank Dunlop. The focus is on the composer and Rouse, though the only extended workout is of the old standard "Sweet and Lovely." There aren't any real surprises, though the music is well-played. This edition was a 24-bit gold remastering by the high-end limited-edition reissue label Mobile Fidelity and is highly sought after by audiophiles who collect jazz. Expect to pay a high price for a copy, if you can locate one. ~ Ken Dryden
