Monk proves his superb yet underrated ability as an accompanist on this track. That solo has THELONIUS written all over it! Art Blakey & Gigi Gryce also soar to new heights here! Killer stuff; a beautiful, haunting melody dedicated to Panonnica de Koenigswater.

Amazing how the decline of America from the age of Prez to the current cultural junkyard so closely parallels our country's decline from world power to a has-been debtor nation.

  THIS was "pop music" [as in: "popular"] in our once invincible nation. The contrast between the untold merit here and the pathetically insipid nature or our current culture are accurate signs of a society in decline, just as surely as the present economic decline is!
