Ultra smooth. Just great. Can't do anything but just listen.

It doesn't get any better than this, just a fantastic piece of music.

This is just absolutely gorgeous. The original Monk composition is one of his most touching, but this takes it to another level.

I love black & white photo images of NYC. This is baby-making music right here! Monk is so smooth on the keys. Trane is a beast as always. wilbur ware's bassline are on point!!! can't get enough of it!!

WHAT A GREAT JAZZ SESSION, WITH A LUXURIOUS VIDEO...!!!

[donluchitti]

@FERNANDOFMATOS luxurious? LoL,, awesome adjective. 

[TravisBIKES]

how might one obtain this recording? iTunes?

[paganmaestro]

@TravisBIKES - That is likely possible, though I only buy albums so don't know. "Thelonious Monk - Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings" is the remastered two-cd set that this track comes from.

[TravisBIKES]

@paganmaestro Great, thanks. My high school big band is recording the bill hollman arrangement of this tune tomorrow morning for part of our audition for the Monterey Next Generation festival. A buddy of mine has been stealin' licks from this recording. Coltrane's a boss

@TravisBIKES What a fantastic thing for a school band to do. Hope you got in.

@TravisBIKES

the Ken Burns Jazz compilation is a good 1 cd comp to start with, this track is on there along with other classics

[PorroFirst]

Thelonious Monk's melodies are STILL hard to understand for ordinary people today. I wonder when history will catch up..

[bluesborn]

@PorroFirst -Monk was a true musical genius who even dazzled Miles with his brilliance.I think he was one of those people who somehow are able to skip a century or two and bring back a taste of what is yet to come.A Visionary.

Lovely...

[Jermarly]

Fantastic, It makes me want to go home....listen to the klipsch old skool KG4's and sip some hot chocolate and drift into thought!

[custardapple777]

Trane's tone is fullsome yet restrained. This combined with his work ethic helped to inspire the best in other players. Thanks for posting.
