  • Great.............. I have to ask, where are the current "good" jazz players? The ones I listen to leave me cold and I end up back with Davis, Coltrane, Monk, etc.............

  • Simply brilliant.

  • Idiosyncratic and positively exquisite rendition.

    Timeless with a suit case filled with soul.

  • @Lionel4482 I love the Charlie Parker version also, but honestly, the strings arrangement take away the mood a bit...it sounds more Broadway than a jazz piece...this is more sublime and subtle...and Monk is playing magically :) [absolutely personal opinion]

  • thanks

  • Charlie Rouse is plain nasty

  • So nice that I had to listen multiple times!!!

  • sweet sax

  • @RicoIII2010 You're right...remember Basie saying, "One more, once" on the recording? The arrangement was by Thad Jones.
