You know, the more I listen to many of Monk's recordings, the more I appreciate the symbiosis between Monk and tenor sax Charlie Rouse, who to me is one of the most underrated musicians of the bebop era and beyond. And Butch Warren on bass with Ben Riley here, they too deserve great credit. You don't get people to play with Monk who don't have their stuff together. I realize that here, they're in Paris doing a festival, and a lot of old favorites, but that soul connection between Monk & Rouse still stands out to me. They go back, brothers & sisters! And bless them and their enormous talents-- They bring us forward!

One night at the Five Spot, Thelonious seemed to be in one of his moods, would play a few bars, walk off the stage, let the others carry the rest of the song; come back for next piece, same thing - right through each set. And, do not think any of us were disappointed - because his guys handled everything so well, right up to standard. We all loved Monk not just for the notes he played, but for himself, something about his stance in life; & his players likewise. All good, original & unified.

as a child growing up in S.W.oklahoma, while all of my parents friends record selection included Country music, popular music etc, my father's collection was jazz and western swing. I grew up listening to Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillispie, Charles Mingus, Theo Monk, John Coltrane Sonny Rollins, Bob Willis etc. At the time I just took it that as my dad's music. later I came to appreciate the music my father had turned me onto.

what an awasome piece of music the whole concert, gorgeous.

Listening in the wee hours of the morning and wanting to imbibe a jack and coke at the local speakeasy. pull the blinds Monk and play me some tunes! This man was a genius.

The good old Thelonious Monk....... I discovered this genius by listening to "Misterioso". I IMMEDIATELY left the band I was in.

monk, a one of a kind genius with a heart of gold, forever changed the piano and the sound of jazz. Immortal

Like magic. What a mind. It takes real discipline to achieve that kind of freedom.

I'm struck by how the other players meld so seamlessly into Monk's style, temperament and energy. It's amazing that even though every bit of his genius is evident in his solo piano work, the musical impact can be enhanced so well by the ensemble. What's been documented here is a treasure to marvel over for ages to come!

It's because it was broadcast for a radio station (by the ORTF Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française). It's not a "bootleg" 😉

A fella on here commented on how Monk can make you dance. All that talk about technique and how he had bad technique, etc. This is a choice live recording of his best band. His Columbia recordings, except for Monk (8 or so in all) are all complete masterpieces. Monk is worth owning, but don't start on that one. They don't get the credit they deserve. Monk took time to seep into my bones. His music first struck me as simple, then a tune here and there on the album I first bought, CrissCross, started registering to me. Got catchy. Then over several listens, the whole album lit me up. Every moment of the album became a whole deep enjoyment. Each album did the same thing the same way. Mingus said he had the best meter of anyone. What he is doing then, is swinging. He swings using timing, and he swings by adding the perfect tonal touches at the right time. He also brought a childlike enthusiasm into his music that was and still is not matched by anyone else; the joy is inescapable. Third, he often began his studio tunes with these beautiful stride pieces that brought the band in at a time that couldn't happen more appropriately. He built tension on the intro that was so tight, and then the band would come in and the tune is elevated at that moment to a chemical reaction. He had his perfect band during those years, and he had worked out every detail of his songs, many of which were already in is repertoire for many years. Lastly, he brought you to city as he knew it. You can hear the city, streetcars, on several great tunes. That also is some of the enthusiasm I'm talking about. Altogether, nobody swung as hard as Monk. He will always be the top. Nobody can make me dance like Monk. Check out those Columbia recordings.
