[mrhipsterdoofus]

65 years and Monk is still ahead of his time.

[Drummykins]

knew my daddy, a jazz musician, in KC, MO...Dad took me to New York when I was 11, Monk was at the 5 spot, and Coltrane was at Birdland...how lucky can a girl get?

[NoRosesForMe]

Love him so dearly. My absolute favorite. Magical, mysterious, out-of-the-universe kinda musician. Good to browse thru and just listen to this for a good while. Monk is the man. Tank you ..been a long time since I listened to this-Im almost ashamed to say hehe! xx love and peace "Jenny"

Hey Sri

The sound quality is so good I can hardly believe it was 1947. This must be one of the early magnetic tape recordings.

[Joypa47]

Thanks for bio, info, links and Monk.

If only most jazz were even half or a quarter as good as this....
