Jazz Icons: Thelonious Monk- Live In '66

The Jazz Icons: Thelonious Monk DVD, released Sept. 26, 2006, features two intimate concerts filmed three days apart in Scandanavia in the Spring of 1966 with a legendary quartet that includes drummer Ben Riley, bassist Larry Gales and tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse. Thelonious Monk revolutionized jazz with his innovative musical approach and these remarkable performances allow viewers the rare opportunity to experience Monk's genius up close on his classic compositions "Blue Monk," "Epistrophy" and "'Round Midnight."

Yeah, there's just something about it that's just absolutely beautiful. Alone in San Fransisco has to be my favorite Monk. Great stuff.
